Who here has a gym membership?

I have a home gym and a gym membership. I actually prefer going to the gym, I tend to work harder when my traines eyes are boring in to me LOL. I go to the gym 5 nights a week, doing at least 90 mins per session, each session has a different program.

Right now I work out at home but If I had to pick a gym I'd pick planet fitness or the YMCA. I can't stand places like LA fitness because they always try to rip you off with their trainers and push you into stuff you don't feel comfortable with. plus their prices are really high too and they are rude.

I don't have a membership. I do everything at home or where ever I am. I use whats lying around. Doors to do pull ups. Books for weight. works great doesn't cost me anything.

Love my gym. It's part of a regional chain; great selection of classes and times, drop off for kids, nice range of cardio and weight machinery, free weights, and a decent sized selection of trainers if you'd like. I enjoy working out at home and resisted joining, but the price was right and the classes have helped me jump out of a rut that I was just getting into!

Last August I joined Gold's Gym, mostly because it was the closest gym to my home (8 miles). I have been there at least three days per week ever since. For my $26 monthly fee I can go to a wide variety of classes (usually do Zumba twice, occasionally more if my schedule allows), and I use a lot of the equipment and weight machines. It's clean, well-maintained, and when I have time I can also relax in the sauna. The gym and people who work there have played a huge role in my weight loss so far.

I go to 24 Hour Fitness. I pay $19 a month. It has everything I need, and I like having a lot of options, I was working out at home but I really prefer to work out at the gym, completely different vibe. There are some really nice and helpful people there too. They have seen me dragging my 300+ lb butt in there and I have definitely gotten support.

I am a member of my local YMCA and I totally love it!

I have a membership in a gym called Elixia (wich probably doesn't matter since i live in Norway , hehe:)
but i love it , go there about 5-6 times a week, and there is a sauna in the dressing room wich i LOVE!
plus access to a spa. i would totally rate my gym 5 stars

I just joined Anytime Fitness this week and I do like it. From what I understand, these gyms are franchised, so they are are very different in what they offer. I think it's a bit expensive, considering there are no classes/pool, but I probably wouldn't do those things anyway. As the name implies, they are really open any time and the atmosphere there is nice. I've already had two guys help me out when I had questions about machines.

My husband and I have a YMCA membership. We actually do not use the pool but chose the "Y" for its classes. My husband and I do several different classes together and love it(cardio and strength training). Its really motivating for us and worth the money. I rarely use the cardio equipment as I prefer to run outside. We have a dumbbell set at home so we occasionally do that. Our Y is very close to where we live.

I have a spare bedroom with a bike and treadmill. I also have my own hand weights and plenty of exercise DVD's. It is easier for me to just step into my room to exercise instead of driving to the gym. I can exercise before work then shower and start my day.

I use to work for a company that had a gym on site for their employees and I did use that everyday on my lunch hour. It was great and I lost a lot of weight. Decide what works best for you. I like to exercise alone so my current set up works best. If you like to work out with others or enjoy taking classes then by all means use a gym. Pick one you are comfortable with and is near by.

I had a membership to 24 hour Fitness and I loved it. I had to cancel it though because it was crazy expensive. $30 a month is way too steep for my budget. Now I just work out at home.

Just curious, who here has a gym membership? What gym is it to? How do you like your gym? I have a membership to Anytime Fitness, from the workout equipment and classes to the people who go to my gym, i love everything about it! I've been taking a cardio class and it has really been helping me get in shape, I totally recommend taking one if it is offered at your gym!
--- Feel free to add me!

I actually belong to two gyms. One is totally free because of the employer who has access to it. It's huge. It has two basketball courts, racquetball court, about 75,000 square feet of exercise space and just about every workout equipment you can think of including a rock wall. It basically looks like one of those fancy gyms you would see in New York City or L.A.

The other place I belong to is the local YMCA. It's much smaller, but more intimate in how everyone knows everyone. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the bigger gym, but is far more family oriented and much much closer to my home. We pay something like $50 for a family membership and we get our money's worth.

Not anymore ... I lost the ability to drive a few years ago (genetic eye condition called Stargardt's) and it was difficult to get there ... I had/have a bunch of workout equipment at home already (stationary bike, eliptical, treadmill, free weights, pilates reformer. heavy bag, free weights ... had a leg press and some other more "manly" gym stuff but my brother took that stuff when he bought his first house) ... I liked going for the classes they offered, the pool, the sauna (miss that, though the spa/salon I go to rents space in the gym, so when I go to get my nails done I sneak a few minutes in the sauna after, lol) and being around other people who were also working out was motivating ... That being said, I have come to enjoy being able roll out of bed and go down into my basement and workout (That fact that I can do it anytime makes life a lot easier) ... Plus, I can wear (or not wear, lol) whatever I want to workout ... I can grunt and sing along with my iPod, curse or whatever and nobody is there to look at me funny ...

I'm also lucky in that my neighborhood is a perfect oval (I live on the cul de sac in the middle of the oval), and is almost a perfect half mile for one time around the block ( about 0.56 miles), with a nice hill built in (when I run or walk I go in the direction that takes me up the hill, duh) ...

ETA: Oh, and I don't have to worry about any one else's (strangers at least) germs or sweat, lol!

I have a membership at LA Fitness, and have been generally pleased. I am fortunate in that my preferred workout times are not the same as the rest of my area's preferred times, so the gym is usually fairly empty when I go. I've been living away from home for the last few months for work, so I haven't been able to go recently, but I am looking forward to being able to lift again when I get back. I also like having access to the yoga classes for those rare days where I really feel the need for it.
