I am all kinds of out-of-shape, terribly busy working full time and going to school part-time (right now, 2 nights, and next semester 4 nights). I've had inflamed and/or torn ligaments in my ankle and knee, and sciatica in my back. This is all due to poor physical condition and trying to do shit anyway.
So I need to work out, and I need to get into shape. Now, before 30 hits with its massive metabolism changes. Now, before I go completely insane.
I know I have to do this, but I'm anxious about the costs, and about making time to get it done. It seems like everytime I start a new routine to get back into shape, I hurt something again and am unable to work out for a time. This last time has been 3 months.
I should note that with the torn ankle tendon and the sciatica, I had to go to rehab, and I did. Twice a week for about 6 months. Never punked out. But it was fun because I liked the people working there, and I had a lot of attention as to how I was doing, if my technique was correct, etc.
The gym I'm considering
(link here) is close to home, but not at all to work. There's only one branch. However, it's open 24 hours during the week, it has a wide variety of classes, and it has a rock wall (super woohoo on that).
The cost choices:
Breakdown
$89/month for a month-to-month,
$83/month for a 6 month membership plus $78 registration fee,
$70/month for a 12 month membership plus $78 registration fee
A special for $156 off membership fees (basically no registration fee and 1st month free).
What do you knowledgeable gym types think about this gym? Is it worth it? Which membership option do you think is best, considering schedule and other concerns?
THANKS!
