I went to a YMCA

I used to belong to a health club, I don't anymore. We belong to our park district that has a membership and lessons for kids. We've had the girls in classes there. It's awesome. I absolutely love my park district. There is so much for kids to do in Joliet. We also had a membership at the Y when Abby was young. I don't know...we've thought about doing that again.

I actually have a membership to the "Y". Water aerobics is the best work out that I enjoy. I do half hour on the treadmill, work out on other machines for thirty minutes then do the water aerobics. I've slacked off lately but it's time to get back into it!!!!

Lucky you!! That was nice of her to take you along. I don't have a health club membership, they're wayyyyyyyyy too costly out where I live (and then I'd have to drive forever to get to one.) I would LOVE to be able to have one though. The Dr says it'd be good excercise now that I have arthritis, etc. Good for you, I'll just bet that water felt good and refreshing. I'll bet too that you exhausted afterwards though, especially if not having swam, etc, for years. (I know I sure would be lol)

Sounds like fun! I've been a member of various gym programs and also Curves before, but I don't have anything right now. I just walk up to the main road and back, exactly a mile round trip, or use my recumbent bike. Unfortunately I haven't been doing nearly enough of either of those.

I don't have a health club membership - the nearest DECENT one is about an hours drive from home and i just dont have the time or money to go that far. I invested in my own elliptical trainer last fall and i love using that. I also have a punch pass for the pool 2 blocks from work i occasionally use for swimming.

Yes I go to the gym twice a week to do yoga, I really love it and miss it when I can't go.

Grats! I have never, nor do now, have any membership like this. My wife and I have visited a few places. We use the free day pass then never joined any of them I really would love to just for the use of the treadmills and swimming pool. Some day soon I hope. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I do not have any kind of health club membership. The only time I do water aerobics is in the summer time because my friend has a in ground pool. She told me that I can use it anytime I want.Yes doing any kind of exercise in the water is good for your health.

I do not. Each time I visit one I think.. hey this can be a good idea, but it's never a good idea. I had a membership many years ago. I started going all the time for the first month... often the second, occasionally the third and from them it was all downhill LOL Still I prefer to exercise without calling it exercise. Walking, swimming, canoeing, riding my bike... have you noticed that most of those are outdoor things? Yep feels so much better when it's outside. ANyways, it sure works for many people, specially the ones that can really commit and go regularly, but in my experience it didn't work as I has first thought.

Currently I do not, but when we did not have a swimming pool where we live, then I joined the YMCA/YWCA and took swimming classes and used their pool and sauna regularly. It was affordable, and much safer than other places I might have gone. They had a wonderful program.

Our Y is the biggest pain when it comes to the pool. Always some reason why I can't use it. Being cleaned, the schedule changed, etc. Sooo not worth it.

hi gardengerty nope wish I did. I dont get the exercise I should seated here at my computer all day. I am physically handicapped so walking is hard for me but I can do it slowly. water aerobics would be really good. we have a pool here but for me with my leg brace its almost impossible for me to get to the pool, therees a number of steps withour any railings at all before I even get to the pool proper.once there I would have no problems but the company that owns this apt complex evidentley does not care to have senior citizens with any problems so has made no provision for us whats so ever.
