I have done that before and that is why I won't join one anymore. It's a waste of money if I am not going to use it. I bought a treadmill instead. I use it a lot more than I ever used a health club membership.

I go everyday in the winter.


In the summer I alternate between the gym and the park. I am at the gym right now on the bike.

I joined in April and I go three days a week. I signed up with a friend, who agreed that we would work out together from time to time, but I've never seen him there. He claims to have gone about 5 times, but I doubt if it's even been that much. Can't believe how much money he's wasted.

My gym has internet access on the bikes. This why I have been on the bike more lately. It is my least favorite cardio!

I haven't been since joining last March.

I joined, and was told that for optimal results I should go 3 times a week.

Well........

I find that if I don't go EVERY DAY, I start making excuses about why I can't go that day.

So- I go every day after work.

"I wanna quit the gym!" (Chandler Bing)

This thread reminds me of the Friends episode where Chandler wants to quit the gym, but that didn't happen and Ross ends up joining the gym!

I used to go pretty regularly, but I just couldn't take the "meat market" atmosphere anymore, so I dropped it. I bought my own treadmill and weights and work out at home. It's much nicer.

I joined the Y last November and didn't go until January. It was great in theary that I wanted to join a gym but did actually convince myself that I needed it until January. I now go 5 times a week and alternate between cardio, strength training and Yoga.

I took 3 days off this week and today in Yoga, I couldn't keep up. It amazing how that 3 days set me back.

It is amazing! I had to take 5 off and I had a hard time today. I went at 4am and then again in the evening. I am just going to do that for the next 3 days to get back on track!
