Which gym to join
Hey guys and gals, I've decided to ditch my gym since they are being unreasonable with payment issues (they've been overcharging me for 4 months by $17) and they refuse to resolve the issue by setting to the correct price. I'm currently at LAFitness (formerly Lifestyle Family Fitness). Their "solution" was for me to quit…

Calories burned accuracy
Hey everyone, I'm concerned over the accuracy of how many calories are burned doing an activity.
