yup, that's right...i have sucker written all over my face. my friends were surprised that i'm so easily swayed by a sales pitch, since i can be pretty stubborn in other aspects of life. all i wanted to do was check out steve nash fitness world - we keep getting promos in the mail for the brentwood location across the street. so after my walk and workout at fitcity, i walked to snfw. an hour later, i had signed a 1 year contract.
yes, i'm an idiot. i still have 11 months on my fitcity membership. however, in my defence, that was paid in full so i got a bonus "free" year (i'm in my free year now). i just really like sparkly shiny new things, and snfw is just that. it's really nice and clean, and it's just monstrous compared to fitcity. they also offer more child-minding days/hours, which i might use once we get gabe transitioned into preschool (i'm just not comfortable leaving him with strangers yet).
even though snfw is significantly more expensive than fitcity, the class variety and times work better for my schedule. it also opens up more doors - i found zumba classes at kingsway that i could hit (in lieu of the bonsor drop-ins). and i plan on spinning with a co-worker once a week, alternating between coquitlam and brentwood. also, the club opens at 5 a.m. - for awhile last year, i hit our condo gym at 5 a.m. 3x a week for a month. i'm pondering returning to that idea.
if anyone who reads my blog wants to join a gym, let me know. if i sign up 3 friends, i get a bonus year! also, i was aghast at the "regular" monthly rate, so my guy hooked me up on a corporate plan for $16 less per month (which will be honored for anyone i recommend at brentwood).
so tonight i went for my new member orientation with a personal trainer. everything was great...i worked hard, i sweated...then came the sales pitch. and that big flashy SUCKER sign lit up, and i signed up for 12 PT sessions (to be used within a year). i have to admit that my 8 weeks with ryoko from january-march was really good. i got the results i wanted. then once we stopped our sessions, i stopped seeing results. and here i am today...almost back at square one.
this is just embarrassing now. before i joined snfw, i signed up for a learn to run clinic at the running room in august. it was definitely an impulse decision. but i figured why not, i've got nothing to lose...except weight! working out alone isn't getting me anywhere. so now i have a PT kicking my ass, a nagging coworker to spin with, plus a running group that i have to keep pace with. and somewhere along the way, i still need to be a mom :P
anyways, if i don't see results by november i'm gonna be pissed at myself. i am so motivitated this year...i have hawaii to look forward, and i'm a bridesmaid for my sis-in-law in june 2012. here goes nothing!
(btw...like everything else i don't commit to, i'm now quitting my 2nd blog. ironic.)
