I’m approaching my dirty 30s and up until a few weeks ago I’ve never exercised nor hit a gym in my life. Something just clicked and I went for it(«something» being the realization that I’m getting old and I need to get my sh*t together haha). If a place like here is actually making me come back frequently and me not feeling the dread then I think that’s fabulous in my books! Everything’s clean, people keep to themselves, I’ve been here by myself outside of staffed hours and haven’t felt intimidated or threatened so it’s safe too. Equipment has massive tvs with FTA. And if you join you will get a complimentary 1 hr PT session with one of the friendly staff.

After an indolent summer full of boozy picnics, I recently decided it was time to re-enter the world of treadmills and stair climbers. The Exercise room opened up right near my house a few months ago and was offering memberships for only ten dollars a week so I signed up. So far I’m happy with this clean, convenient, and well priced gym. The reason it’s so cheap is because its not manned all the time(there is staff around until around 6 or 7 pm Monday-Saturday). This means nights and Sundays are not staffed. They have pretty good security comprising cctv cameras in the gym that are monitored at all times, electronic keys for members, and the kinda freaky«panic button» mounted on the wall should an emergency occur. I still prefer to go when an employee is around but that’s just me. The Exercise room has dispensed with classes like zumba, which also helps keeps prices low. What they haven’t scrimped on is the equipment, which is really top of the line. Each treadmill and bike comes equipped with a large TV monitor which includes digital channels, internet(check your pinterest while you work out!) comprehensive workout plans, and even a tour de France style bike tour through Burgundy. Everything is super clean and there are a couple of private shower stalls available. What could be better than watching air crash investigation episodes on youtube while you run? For a lazy couch potato such as myself, it has worked a treat.
