Gyms, yay or naye? Options

[Miss[x]Tiff]

I was talking with a good friend of mine and about how we want to get back in shape again before the summer. I'm not really sure how a gym is, some people love it others hate it and say theyre just out for the money.

So whats all your opinions and expierences with going to a gym?

[inthemudhole]

Well, from what I've heard...Most gyms are usually pretty good and trustworthy.
I haven't gone to one before personally, but that's just what I have heard in the past.

[*AngelicEyz00*]

I've never been to the gym before, but I know it's about time for me to start getting back in shape. Lemme tell you, for all that money, it better damned be well worth it, y'know? Haha. I signed up for the gym, and it opens up in May. I'm gonna be there like everyday, w00t.

[racoons > you]

i used to live near the gym where one of the 9/11 terrorists worked out.

i like treadmills...

LOL same here =D

like those Bally comercials where theres a fat lady getting smalle rand smaller within weeks. I wonder if that really happens =[ Im not really fat, i just feel like I should get back in shape a little.

if your schools have a weight room you can use theres for freee haha or just do like sit up and push ups and run that should get you in good shape too

but a gym is cool

.:tony:.

[DanielleMaria05]

^^ Thats so random... funny James

Anyway.. I think a gym is a gym and if you are devoted to get back in shape, going to a gym will help.. Long as you're devoted. I think its a good idea...

.:tony:.

We do, a weight training class is there always though. So are you saying I should take up weight lifting? But i dont wanna get muscles, i wanna loose weight.

[racoons > you]

...wha?

did you not know that... mohammed atta (or w/e his name was exactly) went to a gym in one of those strip malls off of the 141... i dont rmember which one

i saw it in a news report....

[*tweeak*]

strip malls off 141? and no, i definitely dont remember

my mom works at a gym (kind of. ymca, actually) but i havent been there in years

[speight89]

they are good but you could just exersize in your house, or at school

[xLittle_Bugx]

I've never been to a gym either... I guess it makes sense that you should go to the gym to get in shape, because as much money as it costs you would definitely be there every day and working hard on all the equipment! But I'm more for the "just go outside and run around a bit" routine. I think that if you're REALLY dedicated to getting fit, there is stuff you can do without paying money to go to the gym, you know? There isnt really a gym close to where I live, but now it is getting closer to spring so everyone walks or jogs.

[*AngelicEyz00*]

I doubt they offer the same results

[shanny]

a gym is good because then you're like "i spend $250 bucks on this a year..i should go use it now!"
so you will workout often.
on those awesome treadmills
and the double awesome arm machine..thingy.

[sm0kinm0nky]

there should be trainers at gyms or people that help you out.
theres a weight room in my school, which i used to go to but now its not open anymore, so my dad got me passes to the Y

[Miss[x]Tiff]

I doubt they offer the same results

Exactly. Im not gonna pay thousands of dollars worth of tapes and machines and all that crap.

[Skyline Drive]

I'm joining one this summer so I can get more tone and fit

As long as you take advantage of it and go everyday or at least try to you will get your moneys worth. Don't join a gym if you plan on going once a week.

[loveisick]

don't you have a gym at school? or even at the Y it's cheap to get in. (YMCA that is)

[imafreakinazn]

i've never been to a gym
:P
my cousin goes a lot
but i just run and do yoga

[Miss[x]Tiff]

don't you have a gym at school? or even at the Y it's cheap to get in. (YMCA that is)

Yeah, but i want one i can go to all year round.

I live in brooklyn im not gonna go to the city every other day for the Y -.-

[gohomejes]

i've never been to one. but honestly i don't think i'd ever join. it would be a waste b/c what if i didn't go daily or whatever my membership was? then it would be a waste of my money ;x also i feel much more comfortable just working out at my home..another thing i would be too lazy to drive to a gym ;x plus my mom has to drive me..and i dont work out at a set time each day its whenever i have time, sometimes way late at night and yeah

[Saeglopur]

Gyms are expensive .. I SAY GO RUN AROUND YOUR BLOCK 100 TIMES!

[jennyjenny]

My brother's signed up for one.

It's like 20 dollars a month... for 2 years.

[xj_liana_tx]

i am too lazy to go, but there is this gym right next to our school and students can use it for free

[greedybunny92]

depends on what we are doing in gym... but i would say.. yay!

[KELLYYY]

It smells there.

[*salcha*]

nah, i just jog around the neighborhood or do sit ups at home.

[JlIaTMK]

I don't know, I've went to a gym once or twice before and.... I basically dislike that there are all these inshape people that exercise right next to you while you sit there sweating your ass off, running out of breath. It just sucks. I'd rather work out by myself at home.

[dolover]

my school has a weight room but i see mostly guys in athletic sport in there.
i have never been in the gym before but maybe one day ill try (got no money). i really need to get off my butt. im getting fatter everyday. PE in school was the only i kept myself in shape but this year i dont have it so i gotta do something.

[*islandgirl4eva*]

Most def a YAY. I love going to the gym for some reason. I haven't gone much recently because of my busy schedule, but I get so pumped being in that environment.

[redpeony]

yeah i go like every other day
sweat like a mofo
hot guys sometimes too

it's all good

[*mzkandi*]

i have never worked in a gym a day in my life

[Smooth_Tender_Ki...]

i have never been to the gym before but i guess if i was really motatived to get in shape then i;m sure i would go...

[toodlepops.]

I don't go to the gym. XD

[KissMe2408]

If i had the time, money, and transportation to go to the gym then i would. lol, i always get in the best shape when i'm there. If i have to stay at a hotel for a week, then i always just use the gym or somethan, it's nice.

[daintyme]

i agree with tony, the school gym is usually available to anyone and if you'd rather spend your hard-earned money on a pair of chanel sunglasses or a bikini, why not run around your neighborhood or up and down the stairs? chores actually help a lot. working with a friend is always good too.

[miss barnes]

i dont go.....i have a treadmill at home though

[angel-roh]

There's a lot of embarrasment when you're at gym especially when you're not even athletic and you don't even exercise that much. Because they force you to do stuff when you don't want to do, and you end up messing it up by accidentally because you don't know how, for examples: carthweels. You have to do infront of people. I'm very bad at cartwheels. So yeah... and a lot of people who are not good at sports get hit by the basketball. Blah blah the usual.

the only thing I like about in gym... is when we play volleyball haha... or something to do with dancing like aerobic class. And since I'm a slow runner... I'm more like the girl who is way behind from people haha... so it's very embarrassing. ehh.. yeah. Well it's my fault for not exercising, but still teachers embarrass you and they know that you suck... I guess they like doing that. Embarrassing their students to other students.

[surfhottieoffcoa...]

I AM FIT!!! GO TO THE GYM....but of coarse i also have physicle ed....I LOVE TRACK!!!!!!!!

[surfhottieoffcoa...]

GOT FIRST PLACE TODAY IN THE 200!!!! come ON!!!! THATS HARD....i've come a long way and i believe in everyone that they can come as far as they wish

GOD BLESS U!!!! what? u sneezed.

[heyyfrankie]

i don't like gyms because i just don't. if i want to work out, i would either do it at one of my school's gyms or at my house. =|

[O x LiseE x O]

Not sure, but I too plan on going to the gym this summer with a friend. But mine is free. *points and laughs*

=]

[juliar]

yay, you can do whatever basically. i mean, treadmills seem better than running down the block. plus, they have alot of equipment for everything. especially if you go to a place like the Y.
