Hi there,

I've been on this site for some time now, however I've swayed from my routine and I need the motivation to get my butt back in gear! Looking for new, motivational friends who are somewhat close by to share reciepies with wtih and excersice ideas. I need motivation for the gym mostly! It's hard to walk 20 minutes in the cold after a hard workout! Seems I'll look for any excuse these days not to go to the gym!

Talk soon!

    That's awesome! You should be proud of yourself! That's the greatest motivation of all is seeing the difference in yourself!
    I'm in the Bedford area. Looking to move back to Sackville soon.
    Where are you originally from?

    I'm in Bedford (Halifax)
    It's great to see others from Hali on here!
    What gym does everyone use? I'm in the Bedford GoodLife Gym... we desperatly need a newer one around where this one is located! I thought they were going to take Canadian Tire spot when it moved but sadly it didn't :(
    If I had a car I would be all over the Larry Utek one!

    Hello! I am not from Nova Scotia - but can I just tell you that your home is the NICEST, FRIENDLIEST place I have ever visited in my life (and I have traveled a lot!) Seriously, where I live in CT, people try to run me down when I go out for a walk (wish I was kidding). When visiting NS, people would see me on the side of the road (apparently looking like I wanted to cross the street) and would stop wherever (not even at a light or stop sign) to smile and wave me across. Seriously, I loooove Nova Scotia!

    Halifax here (Hammonds Plains)

    I live closest to the Tantallon Goodlife, it gets the job done but definitely not new and shiny! I would say it is similar condition to the Sunnyside one, just smaller.They have have added some new cardio machines recently and are trying to 'clean it up'. I usually go for the classes or to run on the treadmill. The Larry Uteck one is amazing, I usually go there for the 7:30pm spin class on Thurs night or on the weekends for other classes. I love the spin classes but cannot make the ones at 5:30pm.

    Thanks for the kind words... I'm sure I speak on behalf of all Bluenoser's when I say that this IS one of the best places to live... come back anytime! We love company! :happy:

    I would love to be able to get up early enough and do my work outs in the AM, however with my work, that doesn't allow for that. Is it true that the Larry Utek one is open 24hours?
    I know that my boyfriend and I are looking at getting a car soon for me (we only have a gas guzzling truck right now lol) and if that rumour is true then I would be looking at doing that... is there anymore 24hour GoodLife's around here does anyone know?
