it is either that or Gold's. I can't afford Equinox right now even NYSC is a tad steep at this point.

It is machines in a circle -- kind of circuit training. It is not bad, but a bit boring. Go look, and look at their website. I did it in Dallas for a while (it was 1 block from where I lived) and it is not a bad workout for staying in reasonable shape, and it's quick and absolutely brainless. It will not make you into an athelete by any means, but it doesn't seem like that's what you want. It really is 30 min, in and out -- basically the machines are all in a circle, and you switch machines at timed intervals (so it's like 30 sec or 60 sec or whatever of doing a given exercise, not X number of reps) -- there are 2 CDs playing, one of which beeps or something at each interval, and the other of which has music. There are also rest areas -- so like every 4 machines, you sit out one. You can start anywhere in the circuit and people are coming in and dropping out all the time. Unless all of the spots are full, there's no waiting, and even if there were waiting, you'd only have to wait until someone finished their 30 min. |
