Christian Weddings

I joined a gym! *UPDATE*

I wouldn't classify myself as lazy or a "couch potato" by any means, but I've never took that extra step either. I'm at the point were I'm not gaining weight but I'm not losing it either. I want to lose weight and get in better shape.
I don't really eat junk food, its just the portions that I have issues with. My mother has actually jokingly compared me with a teenage boy.

So last night me and my best friend joined a local gym. I had never stepped foot in a gym before. That place is awesome.  I meet with my trainer today and I'm extremely excited!

  • Good for you! Now, actually go to the gym! Get involved with a class of some sort that will keep your interest.

    I eat a lot too. And, I have gained a lot of weight. But, I'm trying to maintain now until after the wedding, which is in 18 DAYS!! :)

    But, good for you lady!

  • I'm the type of person that if I spend money of something, its going to get used. And last night I spent more than I wanted to on this membership but that included a trainer. So my happy butt will be at the gym all the time :)

  • Way to go!  I am in the opposite boat, gave up my gym membership recently.  But I joined a bunch of sports teams which personally I find more motivating.

    Are you planning to do classes?  I never got into the classes at my gym although they looked like a lot of fun - Zumba and bootcamp and stuff, I tried one once and felt really awkward and uncoordinated!  I'm sure if I stuck it out I would have figured it out.  Oh well.  I look forward to your reviews/feedback/followup!
  • have fun!! I miss my gym membership and going to yoga classes

  • Yeah so about this gym...

    I met with the personal trainer yesterday. The guy that I signed up with told me a bunch of bull crap. He said that the trainer was included in the package I had purchased. He also said tanning was free with my membership and that the contract was for 12 months...

    Turns out. The trainer most definitely was not free. That was going to be another $20 WEEKLY. And that contract was for 36 months! Oh and tanning wasn't free either.

    I was highly irritated. They completely lied to me and my friend that joined with me. So I'm in the process of cancelling my membership. I had 3 days after the time I signed (excluding weekends and holidays) to cancel with reimbursement.  I really feel like they took advantage of us being we are both young and had never sign any type of contract before.

    I called the club first and told them I wanted to cancel. The man I spoke with wasn't very happy or friendly about it. Then when she called, he wouldn't even explain the process to her. He told her that he had already explained it to "her friend" and that I could explain it to her.

    We are both going to join a different gym. Its not as high-tech or awesome as the other one but it will still get me looking great.

  • Yeah. Always read the contract thoroughly. They always lie.
