I NEED A PLACE TO SWEAT!

Today I am going to check out health clubs and Gyms. Not much to choose from here but I need to find a place to go and workout. I know that I should just grab my ipod and go for a walk but I have found that I need to have others around me to motivate me to keep going. Besides, I work from home (not as great as you would think) and it would be nice to be around other people that want to loose weight and get in shape as well. I will keep you posted on where I decided to go.

My choices are:
• Gold's Gym
• Ultimate Fitness
• Bettendorf Family Health Center
• Bettendorf YMCA

In a way I am kind of happy that there is not a Bally's or Lifestyle in the area. Not sure I can deal with all the plastic (do they have plastice people in the midwest?).

Good luck

Hey i know what you mean about picking a gym! They can really grab you and in a matter of minutes you have a membership! Be carefull! Go to all the gyms and look at what they have, and classes etc..The one with more for your money the better! Also make sure the staff is nice! I hate going to work out with pissy people.

I sure do know how you feel, i sometimes wish more of my gals would work out with me, it would motivate me more haha. Well good luck on your search!

Welcome to Extrapounds!

I think that this site is fabulous.  I get a tremendous amount of support from everyone.  It helps to keep me on track and on program because I don't want to let everyone down.  Never mind myself.  Good luck finding a gym.
