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.
I don't wanna commit to a class - especially since most are during work or *just* after. I don't like being locked in like that. Or looking stupid in front of a whole group.
I just want access to good machines, and paying a bit means I'm committed to actually using 'em.
In the AF, I went four or five days a week, both for cardio and weights, so I know I can do it again.
Doesn't look like the local community college has much anyhow. Tai chi, and yoga for "full-figured women", and that's about it.
Heh...Evergreen apparently allows community members to use their gym for a fee, but that would just be scary. Vey scary.
