Ah, Relaxation at Its Best

A few weeks ago, I joined a new gym, mainly for its close proximity to our house. Lifetime Fitness opened up a new location here almost exactly 1 year ago. I've got a couple of friends that go to that gym, and they have nothing but praise. I do have a membership to 24 Hour Fitness and only have a $20/year renewal (at least for now), although, sometimes the cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired at times. So, recently, I've been driving to the new location, which is about a 20-mile roundtrip for me. So, by doing the math, I decided to join Lifetime, which results in a 5-mile roundtrip now. Plus, they have executive locker rooms, provide towels, and have a huge list of amenities. They also have a pool outside with 2 water slides, which essentially is a great family draw to get more people in, especially during the summertime. The last few days, I've hit the pool just to relax and catch some sun. It's really nice, and actually quite relaxing, I wish I would have done it at the beginning of the summer. Lots of kiddos running around, but that's OK, sometimes it's good to be in a family atmosphere. Overall, am pretty pleased with Lifetime Fitness. Yes, I'll have to pony up a gym membership now, but honestly, it's a worthwhile price for the moment.
