Jason and Melina

I officially have joined a gym. Thats right...one of the most lazy people around...has signed up to get in shape. Just across the street from my work there was a new gym that opened up about a month ago. Melina has had a membership to 24 hour fitness and has been trying to get me to go for a while...but i just wasnt feeling it. 24 hour fitness is just weights and machines and wasnt really interested in driving 10 miles away just to run on a machine. But on Saturday i decided it might help me not be so tired if i started to exercise. On my lunch i headed up to the new gym and took a tour. I liked it so much that i signed up for a membership later that evening. Melina came too and even tho she already has a gym membership, she signed up too. Not only is it new...it has alot more than just machines and weights. And its close to work so its really convenient to use and having us both belong there...it will keep us motivated to go.

Now it still does have all the machines and free weights that any other club would have...but it has much more too. One of the main things that sold me is the full court basketball court. Ive already been up there and ran a few games. I used to play everyday in high school so its nice to start playing a little again. Also...at most of the machines...they have their own personal tv's. These tvs you can change to any channel and watch what you want. it even has a headphone jack that you can plug into. Today before work...i used the elliptical for 2 miles and then bike for another mile...all while watching the Price is Right. It also has two pools...a lap pool...and a family pool that i can take Braeden to at anytime for free. We went two nights ago and he loved it. In the locker room it has personal showers with shampoo, conditioner and body wash in each one. They offer towel service too. And on top of all that...they have plasmas everywhere..including off the lobby in a separate area that has couches and a fireplace to sit down and watch. they even have a sitting area with a plasma in each locker room. Oh and did i mention...they have pool tables, a Foosball table...and two plasmas that are hooked up with Nintendo Wii's. Needless to say...its awesome! Hopefully i can get in better shape...have fun...and not be so tired during the day.
