Gym Question


JustineM

Recommended Posts

With the gyms starting to reopen in my area, I want to start going and working out again.  My question is, does anyone here have any experience with Anytime Fitness?  I'm pretty nervous to approach them with questions and I thought maybe I would see if someone has tried them before.  I know it will vary  somewhat from gym to gym, just wanted to see if I could get a general impression.

sorry - I can't tell you anything about them - but they are pretty well know and I would think they would be responsive to your needs

Well I spoke with the trainer/manager today. Asked if he had ever worked with a transgender client before. He said he hadn’t but it didn’t matter to him. So sounds good so far. I’m going to meet up with him next week to discuss my fitness and goals. 
 

Though getting started and all is gonna SUCK. Lol

I'd love to say that it won't be that bad but... depending on how long you've been inactive... yeah, kicking the rust off yourself really, really sucks. Worth it though. I've found my gym time to be very rewarding. I'm looking forward to when they open again.

 

Hugs!

@Jackie C. I haven’t been in a gym in nearly 2 years. Several injury remnants that I’m going to need to overcome. So I know it’s going to be rough to start.

That’s great you are going to the gym and that you are going as who you really are. I don’t go to the gym because I do enough working out at work. I recently picked up cycling which I find very enjoyable and a great stress reliever.

That's not TOO bad. When I first started, I hadn't been to the gym in... ever. ?

The last time I went to a gym is perhaps ten years. I do not exercise, you may call me lazy.

 

You transitioned way earlier than I did. You probably don't have to work as hard to get a backside you can be proud of.

That’s one of my goals. Though I will be happy if I can get enough to hold my pants up.

Well signed up today. I’m officially back in the “torture myself”  game lol. 
 

I do have a slightly personal question for you. Do you ever tuck while at the gym?

Yes. Always.

 

Well, not NOW, but when I needed to, pre-surgery.

 Anytime Fitness? LOL  I just went in and saw them almost two weeks ago. The gyms are open in Sydney now. I seems pretty cheap compared to some of the others.

Anytime fitness quoted me a thousand and forty dollars for a full years membership.

I know at Fernwood it would cost about Eighteen hundred for the year.

As for tucking I tuck all day everyday. Some times I even stay tucked of a night time when sleeping depends on discomfort.

With you well with your fitness goals.

Sweet Goddess! That’s insane! It’s only $38 here in the States.

What do you get for 38 dollars a week or a month or a year.

In Australia that is very cheap.

Another gym with the same kind of set up was about $1600.

What do you pay for a year over there.

Hi Justine 

You can't serious $38 for a year?

I know I am waiting until I get my tax check before joining.

Yeah, I pay $30 a month and a bit more for a personal trainer (because I'm clueless). The start-up fee was somewhere in the $70 range.

 

Our gyms open tomorrow and I'm looking forward to getting back into my routine.

 

Hugs!

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.
