Debate
I am debating joining a gym. I am somewhere in between both being in okay shape and being completely out of shape, but I know I could do better.
So, here's the thing: there's a YMCA pretty much at the end of our block, but they charge more than the gyms that are like a mile away and then have additional charges for anything extra like classes. Planet Fitness is by far the cheapest, but their site doesn't really tell you what they have and Wikipedia says they have no pool, which E desperately wants for her little swimmer heart and, let's face it, we are both more likely to go if we go together even if we aren't doing the same things when we're there. LA Fitness has a pool and individual machines, but neither of the locations near us do the basic classes save for a cycling one so I think I'd be more on my own?
Limitations: I have horrible joints and regularly dislocate my shoulder and screw up my ankle. Like, we're talking every few months here. It's genetic and annoying and whatever. I also have asthma of the exercise-induced variety, thus the lack of regularly working out because that whole not breathing thing sucks.
Anyone have any preferences or horror stories or stories of success for any of these places?
