Gyms and Working out

[hurley842002]

Anybody here into hitting the gym or just working out in general? What Gyms do you guys like and why? I love going to the gym and just maintaining a semi-healthy lifestyle. Going to the Lifetime Fitness in Parker right now, been there for about a year. I'm thinking of switching gyms tho, Lifetime is quite pricey.

I go to miramont up north, its a good gym and reasonably priced but they don't open till 5 am on weekdays and later on weeekends so I am gonna be switching soon. But I refuse to pay $60/month and sign a contract. I spend a lot of time at the gym working out shooting hoops and running on the indoor track. If I could force myself to eat right I would be GTG.

I'll never join a gym again if I can avoid it. I can do all the workouts I need from home.

Balance Fitness in Castle Rock - don't care for their elliptical, but it's a friendly environment.

I used to go to a local Fitness 19. Stopped going a couple years ago. Since then, little by little I have been accumulating weights and equipment for my home gym (Craigslist baby!). If one has the space, in either a garage or basement, I HIGHLY recommend looking at setting up your own home based gym. Cheaper in the long run, convenient, no waiting in line for a piece of equipment, etc. There are many more positives than negatives IMO. I love having my own workout area; it's one of the best decisions I've made in a long time.

As for routines, I'm big on what Ross Enamait preaches.

Combining strength + conditioning exercises + core work will get one in great shape.

Google the Red Rocks Work out. 100% free and will kick your ass all over the place.

I used to be a member of 24 hour, lots of muscle heads standing around trying to look good. That was when I went in the afternoon/evening, I go at the ass crack of dawn now, so maybe it wouldn't be as bad. If they can offer me something better than $60 a month I may rejoin.

Check out your local city fitness centers. Due to my age I get $20 bucks a month full access at Westminster Fitness Center. Since I got unemployed I knew I had to do something to stay at least reasonably fit. Workout 3 mornings a week more if I can.

That's not a bad idea provided they have showering facilities, as I go straight to work from the gym.
