    Lifetime Fitness at Bloomington North, Bloomington South, Savage, and sometimes Lakeville.

    I'm at the Prior Lake Y but am thinking about switching to Lifetime because the Y doesn't open early enough. The plan would be to use the Bloomington facility on the way to work ( the one near 494). How do you like it?

    I think that's Bloomington North. Their cardio machines are nice- they have treadmills with tvs in them (Lifefitness instead of Matrix). They don't have ellipticals with tvs in them- but they do have really nice ellipticals otherwise. They have an indoor track, hot tub, some very challenging classes that WILL change your body for the better. Regular maintenance is not something you usually need to worry about since they have an engineer that takes very good care of the equipment. There's a good amount of freeweight equipment- including benches, a cable tower, two squat racks, two smith machines, plate-loaded machines (leg press, lat pulldown, etc.), freemotion equipment, dumbbells up to 130 lbs, TRXs upstairs that they don't care if you use, kettlebells (again, free to use whenever), their own cycling studio., I like Lifetime since I have a gold membership to all gold/bronze level clubs- it makes it nice to go to different classes or chill out at the pool during the summer. The trainers aren't quite as outgoing at LTF as they are at the Y, but the members and front desk employees are very nice and very friendly. If there's anymore info you're curious about for the club, just let me know!

    Tonight I am getting my very first gym membership at the YMCA in Lino Lakes...I may use a few different locations though because they all have a little something different to offer. So Coon Rapids, Andover, Whitebear Lake, Shoreview and Lino Lakes...possibly even downtown st paul while I am at work!

    I've been there pretty much since they opened. It's my understanding that I have their opening price vs. what they've gone up to now. I believe they're about $45 a month though....?

    YMCA Downtown Minneapolis or YMCA Northwest (New Hope)... also willing to try a new Y!

    I tend to do ~30 minutes of lifting or some cardio a few times a week... might be down for some racquetball or other stuff to make my workouts a little more social.

    I go to LA Fitness St. Louis Park, and sometimes Uptown and Hopkins. I'm less than a mile from the SLP LA Fitness, so that's my primary spot, but the dudes at the Uptown LA are way hotter so sometimes I go there for the eye candy. :laugh: I used to do Zumba at Hopkins regularly but it got to be waaaaay too crowded and annoying.

    I would LOVE a workout buddy, especially someone who's into lifting heavy. I've got the cardio and classes down, but want to get more comfortable in the big boy weight room. Please add me if you would be open to teaching a little lady how to lift heavy stuff.
