So even though my current gym membership is paid up for another year, I find I haven't been going at all in the last 9 months because it is not convenient enough with my work schedule and CMM time. (It's a good 15-20 minutes from my house). So when a new gym opened up 5 minutes from my house I signed up - and waited and waited while they missed their opening deadlines. It finally opened up last week so I went a couple of times this weekend to check out all the equipment.I've never been a morning exerciser but this morning I tried it out - woke up at 6:00 (only about half an hour before my normal waking ) and threw on my exercise clothes, put in my contacts, was able to leave the house by 6:20 and stash my belongings, go to the bathroom and be on the gym floor by 6:30. 20 minute workout and back home by 7:00 (which is when I would normally get out of bed after spending half an hour reading the news.) So this left me my normal amount of time to shower, dress and eat breakfast before leaving for work. In fact, I could easily have added 10 minutes to that workout and still been on time.
The only drawback of this gym is the pool won't be completed until July and it's small. I may end up keeping my other membership too just to be able to use their pool for exercise in the summer. My membership at the new gym gives me the ability to bring a friend free every time I go, so it's nice to be able to bring CMM or one of my sons. And they have a "theater" which is a darkened room with rows of bikes, treadmills and ellipticals where a movie is always playing - Saturday May 4th they were playing the Star Wars movies
