GYM

[Jade]

A sports forum with no GYM thread? O.o How very odd.

 

I joined my local GYM recently and I went to it for the first time today and loved it.

 

I have to say, I originally only wanted to go for the running machine's but I quiet enjoy all the machinery. My favorite is the running machine, rowing and bikes. (Though I ride my bike on a regular basis.)

 

I thought I'd start this topic for us all to talk about our certain work outs, how often we go and your favorite machinery to go on?

I like treadmills. Bikes are okay. Haha, I love those big air-filled gym balls too. I used to go once a week but I've been doing more outdoor exercises for a while now, although I do miss going to a gym. There was a swimming pool at my one, I spent the most time in there.

I'm not a member at a gym, but I am a member of "...a non-profit organization of Swedish origin aiming at providing various forms of exercise" (thanks wikipedia!).

The gyms here in Norway are crazy expensive! Most of the gyms are about 100 USD a month. Whereas the organization I work out at costs about 250 USD for a whole year, where they got the same routines as a normal gym, except they don't have a lot of equipment.

I'd often thought of joining a gym, I'd use the treadmill and bikes a lot. Then I thought "there are plenty of roads and I've got plenty of bikes". Didn't see the point.

 

I would like to be able to use a rowing machine lots though

I have membership to a gym but I don't really use it. I much prefer smaller yoga studios.i don't like machines I like classes, sometimes I go to Zumba. But I prefer yoga and yoga sucks at the gyms I have been too. Sometimes my dance studio does workout classes as well so I much prefer to go there, I don't really like the atmosphere of a gym. At least not the ones in America, I suppose they are different everywhere.

Seconded. A couple friends of mine have been pressuring me to be their work-out partners but as you said, I didn't really see the point of paying money to do something I can do for free. Running a route outdoors do yield better results than a treadmill.

 

I would [or at least used to] run a 3 mile route around my neighbourhood every day. (this was back in high school and the first year afterwards). On days where I can't run due to pain in my knees I would do a 10 mile route with my bike. I did also buy a bench and put it in my garage to lift as well. Basic exercises also done using body weight.

Still, my university's tuition pays for the year's "membership" at the gym we have there. This past year actually I would get out of class at around 10pm and then hit that gym with a buddy for an hour or so... and for some reason hit the bar afterwards.

 

Anything cardio-based I would just do outdoors since I can get better results from that. But, I mostly lifting when at the gym though. Other stuff like raquetball, basketball and fencing (the uni's fencing club needs a major overhaul) I would do there as well.

There's a swimming pool at my gym too. I go everyday now.

Haha you're right ! 

 

I hate running so I have a membership too at a gym, and I love the elliptic machines. For me it's way softer and funnier than running. I also go to different class with the coaches, which helps me stay focus and motivated.
