Work out Partner?

Is anyone out there interested in going to the gym together?

Are you already a member of a gym?  I am interested in joining Fusion in Novi at Fountain Park.

    I work out at Core Fitness in Livonia. I have a workout partner, but she doesn't really go all the time. I've been going about 4-5 times a week. If anyone is interested in joining that gym, it's definitely worth it! It's onlly $19/mo and that includes aerobics classes. I would love to have a workout partner who is also getting married because I'm pretty hardcore about this!

    Julie, you should try to meet up with Amanda (mandanydreams--I think that's her name). She is also a member at LA Fitness. Otherwise I'd work out with you, but I cancelled our membership because it was too expenisve for us :(

    I posted a couple months back, but if I remember right, she is a morning gym-goer whereas I go after work.

    I was hoping someone would be around my area (Novi/Northville). Frown

    I live in South Lyon and currently work in Northville, but may be transferring to New Hudson by February.

    Julie - I need someone to force me to start going again. I haven't been in a month. We should set up a date for next week (this weekend's booked solid).

    Sure thing, just let me know when!  I usually go Saturdays and Sundays.  And I try to go 3-4 days during the week, with my off day(s) varying based on my schedule/mood.  I have been doing pretty good -- I am doing WW and the better I eat, the more I work out.  Even the days I don't go, I can usually force myself to use my elliptical at home.  But a partner is always that extra kick in the a$s!

    I'll have to double check on Tuesday.  I have loose dinner plans with a friend who typically bails on our plans, so let me see what the deal is.  We'll talk Sunday!

    Ok

    OP - I'm sorry I totally hijacked your thread. You should come join us! Just say you're interested in finding a gym and want to try it out.

    Thank you for the offer, however, In work until 9 PM that night. I would be interested in joining you if you were going that late? If not, that's ok.
  • edited December 2011
    Oh 9 pm is too late for me - I get up at 6 am for work and I need my beauty sleep lol.

    Maybe a different day unless you always work that late?

    No, I don't always work that late. We're just getting a new software installed at work so just that night.  I work anywhere between 7:15 AM-3:45 PM; 8:30 AM-4:30 PM; 9:30 AM-5:30 PM or 11:45 AM-7:45 PM during the week. Saturdays 8:15 AM-4:15 and Sundays 12:00-4:00 PM. My schedule changes every week and it stinks! <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-frown.gif" border="0" alt="Frown" title="Frown" />

    My FI joined it while they were running the special for the grand opening. I went and had a tour and I liked it. When I inquired about joining they quoted me $425 for a year though, so that is a little pricey! I also like that they have the morning classes so I would be able to get a good workout before work.

    Holy he!! that is alot of money! Anyway, Core Fitness is at 6 Mile and Middlebelt. It is a little far of a drive for you though. They have the regular machines and weightlifting stuff. Then they have a seperate room with a bunch of those oversized balls and they offer two classes a night.

    Locally, you could try the Powerhouse in SL and then right next to it there is a Jazzercise. I used to do the Jazzercise classes and they were awesome.

    Why did you have to move away from SL?!?! Yell  (Sorry, just throwing a temper tantrum)

    I really liked that Fusion has an indoor pool, hot tub, raquetball, basketball, track, tanning and massage. And the machine that I would probably use the most is the medicne ball one.  When I was on the swim team in HS we would throw medicne balls to each other and that would get our stomachs in great shape. So even though it is a lot of money, I kind of feel like it would be worth it.

    <div>That's a good price if they include all of those options in their annual fee. I worked out at the Powerhouse in Farmington (Grand River and Halstead) and I think I paid $250 for my membership last year. They have the basic cardio/weights, I think classes were extra but the staff was awesome. They had this machine where you lay down and have to throw a medicine ball (kind of like a sit up) into an enclosed catch hole. Kicked my butt every time.</div>

    They have classes daily except Sundays, which are all included. If I do go to Fusion, I will love the medicne ball and it sounds to be the same as what you are describing.

    I'm not sure if the annual fee includes the tanning and massage. I think those would be extra cost, but if they are included I think I will be pretty much sold!

    What time are you looking to workout each day? 

  • edited December 2011
    Anytime really.  My schedule fluctuates. 

    I work anywhere between 7:15 AM-3:45 PM; 8:30 AM-4:30 PM; 9:30 AM-5:30 PM or 11:45 AM-7:45 PM during the week. Saturdays varies between 8:15-12:15 & 8:15 AM-4:15 and Sundays 12:00-4:00 PM. But I do get some weekends off. My schedule changes every week and it stinks!

    Send me an email if you're interested in meeting up sometime.  Hopefully we can work something out.
