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!
