Gym Membership...Finally

Colorado is the perfect climate to take your workouts outside most of the time. And it is great to see so many people outside walking, running, biking. Reminds me of California in that aspect. Of course when it snows or a crazy wind storm comes in, I'm not one to go outside to get my workout in. After all, I'm an Arizona girl. I do however give mad kudos to those who do run when it is cold, snowing and in my opinion not optimal weather to be working out, outdoors. Now we have a community gym at our place but it just isn't the same for me. I love Spin classes, and working out around other people and having all the different machines, free weights, cardio equipment and other gym things at my disposal to use. For the first month we were here, we didn't have a gym membership. Our friends Matt & Jenny were gracious enough to take us to their gym as their guests for the first little bit while we got settled (thanks again guys). Jenny loves to work out in the am (which is my preferred workout schedule too), so days when she doesn't work out with her trainer we meet up and go to the gym. Well after a while, the excuse of, "this is my friend visiting from out of town" ( I could pull that off with my AZ driver's license) didn't work as easily on everyone at the front desk when usual people weren't there to check us in (and let's be honest...who normally visits from out of town for a straight month?!?!). One morning after our workout, I signed up for a gym membership (feels good to have one again). I have had a membership for the past 2 weeks and love it. There are so many locations for the particular gym I belong to in Colorado, I can go to any of them and workout whenever I want. I also enjoy not having to figure out the story every morning I meet Jenny at the gym for how we'll get me in this time. Now I have my own membership card and feel legit. It was sunny and in the high 60's until yesterday when the storms started coming in (snowed last night), so yesterday and this morning were the perfect days to go use the gym since it wasn't so conducive to be outside. Yesterday morning was all over body weights, this morning was spin class. See you at the gym again soon Jenny for another workout!! Next, talking Jeff into getting a membership.
