I did it! My mom and I finally made it out to look at gyms today. We looked at YAK Fitness in terrace heights but they didn't have much to offer and the people were not very helpful or very friendly. So we went to check out the YMCA downtown. My mom and I both thought that would be our last resort. We just assumed they wouldn't have much to offer and I pictured it as dirty and run down. When we got there we met the sweetest most bubbly woman. She showed us around without rushing us through it, happy to answer in any questions we had.
We were impressed with there programs and the child care they offer. It will be much cheaper because my 3 oldest will be able to participate in there free after school program while only my 2 youngest go to the child care. The after school (and all day during the summer) drop in program has pool tables and Wii video games, and dance dance revolution. They also have 2 computer stations and on Friday's they have movie night with popcorn.
I was sold on the gym when they had water aerobics classes my mom and I were interested in at the same time the child care was available. They also have a Zumba water class. In the class they shut off the lights and have special lighting with a disco ball! That just seems very fun to me.
Thanks to my dad working for the county we got a nice discount. Hopefully we will be able to get Kyle a membership soon as well. Only 2 adults can be on an account, but I know he really wants to join. He does seem resistant to working out with me, but when he seems me losing weight that usually motivates him again to catch up with me. :)
Tomorrow evening we have our orientation at the gym, I'm hoping that will be a good experience. I'll probably write about it. I know you will all be on edge until you read about it!
