Fitness Unlimited...fat people unite.

[Goat]

Picked myself up a membership at the langley location just the other week. Damn! Deffinitley one of the biggest/best overall gyms i've ever stepped foot in.

A whole room dedicated to cardio, a room for hammerstrength, and another for assorted machines and free weights.

some other highlights:
a basketball court
an indoor track
2 squash/racketball courts
his/her steam rooms (they actually get hot!!)
a ladies only section
great customer service
signup for free yoga classes
free personal training info

and so much more.

deffinitely worth the $50/month + joining fee.

:)

Apollo in Abbotsford is good like that too...its all about the squash courts!!! I love playing!

[Goat]

I'll never step foot in another place called the apollo after a night of rowdy drinking, fighting, and coke abuse in a hole of a redneck bar in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

sidenote: squash owns.

Hey you don't have to be fat to go work out. =(

[yoko*]

^haha definately. I'm not fat, but I enjoy being fit.

I use the fitness equipment at SFU since I'm a student and I'm already paying recreation fee as part of tuition anyways..

we have access to pretty much everything you listed... about 50$ per semester.. but no one checks id tags anyway so you could get away with using our equipment without paying. The only downer is that the gym is ALWAYS packed and it's co-ed, so I think many of the girls feel kind of intimidated to go to the "weight-lifting" side... which is dominated by guys..

I've been sayin this for years, but I need to start weight-training soon. :P I <3 cardio.

^i love cardio too! The key is the treadmill, it got rid of the baby fat on my tummy and the stairmaster works your butt/thighs real good.
i do some weights too to tone up my arms and i'm so happy my gym has a ladies only section because i get so intimidated when their are a bunch of huge guys around me.

most partekids aren't fat C/Z they do drugs

look at me for enstance

[Jingles]

^ Well - many a retired party kid drinks beer, instead of doin; teh druggies and many a retired party kid no longer has a swift teen metabolism

So gym it is
besides unless you are doing methanphetamines on a regular basis it's likely not the drugs keeping you trim.

[~*HuGgLeBuG*~]

is funk.ca a re-tired partekid site?

[shorerider]

$50!!! a month! Shit. I pay $23 for the North Van Rec centres and can use any of the facilities on the shore. i go to william griffin.


P.S. BEEFCAKE!

And not just any guys - the super muscled - I love all teh sports guys...and I think it can be a little intimidating, not only to women - but to guys as well. Anyone just starting out on weights, I think it can be a little embarassing to go in in front of those big guys doing all their grunting while stealing glances at themselves in the mirrors, and go for the 5-10 pound weights

hellz yeah. At sfu, we get a lot of those athletic guys who are on sports teams.. etc.. who are actually training for the purpose of their athletic career... they're bulky... hot too :P~

some day I'm gonna get some guts and be the lil asian midget girl that can lift more weights than any other muscle-boy's ass. I'll SHOW THEM!

Aki, you know what else KICKS ASS? The elliptical trainer. I've been using that thing for years now... a few years of cardio have helped with overall fat loss. Awesome workout. I agree with you on the stairmaster, it definately feels like more of a workout than the elliptical, but I find that the efx trainers are much more comfortable to work out on...

[Kelster]

mm i looove the elliptical!

i wish i had a treadmill at home..there's nothing scarier then me running in public, not pretty

but goat $50 is geigh, i pay like 65 for 4 months i think

[bebu*funfun]

how do u guys motiviate ureselves to go the gym?! totally admire you guys. the only excercise i can do is drop in dance classes or directed classes.. i need someone in front yellin at me to do stuff. sad but true. and personal trainers are pricey.

[Skitzo_Style]

i have a fitness unlimited not even 3000 feet from my house. i walked in there 2 days ago to check out a membership, and they told me $42 a month + a 2 year contract.after 6 months it becomes $35/month. THEN after the conract is done, uppon renewall, $26.99/month for life.

bev i should bring you to the gym then 1 day. As for how do guys or girls motivate themselves? Well im not sure but personally motivation can come easy or hard for some people. For me the starting stages of working out are shitty cause your weak you lifting lil weights but as you get stronger or even bigger its all the motivation you need rite. For some girls maybe a really good run on the tread mill and just the satisfaction of it will be enough motivation for them.

[Goat]

motivation:
becoming un-uber
set yourself a goal, whether it be to just get that nice firm ass, tone your arms or just for the sake of living a healthier lifestyle, remember, one day at a time.

tell yourself " i'll go 2x a week" , follow through on that commitment, even if it's just for 30 min of cardio or oggling hot people.
after a month or so you'll probably notice minute differences, in most cases something positive. You'll feel better physically, you'll feel better mentally.
How good do you figure it would feel after 3 days a week? follow through on that commitment.
and before you know it, you have a routine. it'll become habbit going to the gym.
some gyms have a ladies only section if you're more into that.
don't be afraid to ask questions. Generally most people are pretty darn friendly.
