Well, today I finally went back to the gym. I can't believe it's been so long since I've been there (but you know I still pay for it every month!) . My gym is 24 Hour Fitness located over in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ and it's really cool! As their name states, they are actually open 24 hours. Some of the amenities (such as the pool, steam room, sauna, etc) are not available between midnight and 5am. Their facilities include: a downstairs area with a open basketball court, 2 racquetball courts and a weight lifting area. Upstairs there is studio for aerobics, a spinning room, a child care center, mens and ladies locker rooms, a lap pool, hot tub, steam room and sauna. They have the largest cardiovascular area that I've seen. My favorite cardiovascular device is called an "Adaptive Motion Trainer" Here is what one looks like:
It's really cool because you can step, run, or use it as an elliptical. It is very low impact and you can vary your routine so that you don't become bored. Oh, and the best thing is that there is a TV screen mounted right up front so I can watch TV while working out! How cool is that? Oh yeah, and there is a place to charge your iPod (it doesn't work with my iPhone, however).
If you have any encouragement you want to send me to keep going to the gym; It will be greatly appreciated!
