What gym do you go to

[fishersofmen]

8 bucks a month and no contract for a club that nice you can't go wrong! I've never been in an LA Fitness. I've heard Lifetime is expensive but 120 a month...holy smoke.

I am a lifetime guy. I do find it more expensive than other options. However, I have stayed there for my kids who are into swimming and they have some locations with pools open 24/7. They also have a location with a "swim team" and if your a member you can get better rates and they are then able to train off season from high school. After graduation though I may consider switching due to cost. I do think its way high compared to other facilities. I was kind of bummed because there was a snap fitness for a while just 3 blocks from my house. About the time I was going to join they closed up. So, I have just stayed at Lifetime.

Just prior to Xmas, my wife signed up at Koko fitness in Savage and suggested I take a look at the club. We used to go to Lifetime but after teaching in the district for 16 years, I would be constantly having to talk with parents or former students or parents of former studnets, etc and it was a huge pain in the neck. Well, I have been going to Koko for a month now, I get there at 5:45 in the morning, nobody is there, ever, and I can go do some cardio and lift and I am outta there in an hour. Koko is a computerized universal machine workout where the "program" runs you through different exercises (I usually do 8-9 different exercises with 2-3 sets) designed to work different muscle groups with out the need to wait for a machine or deal with "them".

I hate cardio, I have already fallen into the rut of sleeping in on cardio days, which doesn't bode well for my overall fitness level, but I like the idea of getting back into the gym and lifting again. I was shocked at how weak my legs were/still are.

Anytime and LA fitness for me. I was going to drop Anytime, but they dropped my rate and there is one close to work that I use at lunch occationally. I use LA Fitness for the pool to change things up a bit.

My take is that the Y, Lifetime, Mystic type places are great for families, while the smaller places cater to the single memberships, or couples. Now that I'm older I appreciate the kid free places. In and out without any hassles. In my experience Anytime has the cliental that I'm most comfortable with, then LA.

Dakotah Fitness at the casino is dynamite for those in the SW metro. Great for kids too, the daycare is actually their Playworks center. Weights, Cardio indoor running track, raquet ball, huge pool/slide, rock climbing wall, tanning etc. Our membership as part of the hockey assoc is $80 a month for family, its great deal.

I go to La Fitness and I workout at home also. In the winter months I do 2 workouts a day.

Anytime changed owners again. Remodeled the whole place in the last month. New carpet, rubber floor, flat screens on new machines. Pretty much a new place now.

[fishersofmen]

Yep. He's the reason I left....

the one by jimmy johns?

[fishersofmen]

Yep. I was there basically since Dean had opened it up but left a month ago. Evolution has alot more to offer but like I said before the equipment is ancient and its not very clean in there. I wish someone would open a nice new gym in the area that had some size.
