Hi girls! So yesterday I went to the Auburn YMCA to have a tour and get three passes so we can try it out, and this morning - Joe and I worked out together! It was really fun. I was embarrassingly tired afterward but that's normal because I haven't worked out in like a month. I started out on the elliptical, moved to the treadmill, and then a bike opened up next to Joe so I did that. He biked ten miles!!!
I'm trying to convince Joe we need to do it. Yes, it's definitely an extra monthly expense. But for us, for now, I think it's worth it. On days when Joe is gone, I need three things: People, exercise, and getting out of the house. And Joe needs exercise, so we could go together on his days off. Plus in January there's no joining fee! Normally it's $125.
When asked why I couldn't just go to another gym, I said I don't like creepy guys staring at me. The Y caters to families, so it's definitely not the place you go to find a girlfriend. I'm willing to pay extra to feel comfortable while I exercise - plus, as my mom pointed out, the money isn't going to some money-hungry corporation, but to a non-profit that provides seriously discounted rates for low income families.
Plus they have free classes and programs! Yay!
The only downside is I have the song "Y-M-C-A" perpetually stuck in my head.
OH my gosh I think I have to join. How much is it for one person a month or two a month do you know?!
ReplyDeleteIf your annual household income is over $65,000, it costs $89/month for a couple and $59/month for an individual.
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys do join it! I love going to the gym...and when I have used the Y its always been great. Right now I use my school's gym because its paid for through my tuition. Going to classes are really fun too. And working out together with your husband is always fun. Except for right now...at this moment Justin it out running in the snow...its like 12 degrees and I can't bring myself to join him. :)
