Oops...

So, basically, yer sayin' it's my fault?

Hrm...I'm toying with the idea of joining a gym. Not a New Year's resolution thing, really...just an it's-been-raining-for-two-months-and-it's-dark-at-night thing.

YMCA isn't just for guys is it? They appear to be a LOT cheaper than anyone else...and there's one vey close by.

Check the local community college circulars. Some of them offer exercise classes and such for very reasonable rates. The karate we take is through the local CC, technically, though it meets in an elementary school cafeteria. It's $40 per eight week session with two classes a week which is a steal. And it's a lot of fun. The CC offers things like dance, kickboxing, and tai bo for the same general price range. It might be more fun than a gym, especially once the weather gets nice.

The YMCA here has a terrific workout space. They usually have a good pool as well, and have open swim times. I took Hydrobics (water areobics) at our local Y, and it was a good workout and a lot of fun. The membership for a single person isn't too horrible, because you can basically go anytime the place is open.

Is there a YMCA close to you?

These days the YMCA is as exclusively "Men" as it is exclusively "Christian."

They really are in most places more of a community center kind of thing. $43 a month is ~pretty good~ for a single membership.
