S/C/G: 307/lost 140+ lbs/125

Default Yippie! A 24 HR Fitness Membership as a B-Day Present!



Today was a birthday milestone for me (the big 3-0 ) and my mother surprised me when after picking me up after an errand, she drove me to my neighborhood's 24 hr fitness gym and paid the initial fees for a membership for me there

(*I'll be responsible for paying monthly fees afterward, but they are pretty dang cheap: 27 bucks a month and I can cancel anytime.)

I also got 6 paid sessions with a personal trainer to use anytime for the next 6 months!

I'm happy because now I have more cardio & resistance training options which can help me keep going and make it easier to avoid (or get over) a plateau! I was beginning to get a bit worried, but this 24 hr membership thing is perfect timing for my remaining 56 lbs left to lose!

If this was five years ago when I was still majorly overweight, I would have taken the membership, sighed, and cancel the membership after a couple of months. Now, I'm like giddy as this is one of the c.o.o.l.e.s.t. presents I could have gotten!

Sure shows what a 180-degree turn I've done in my views of exercise/weight-loss!

Happy Birthday!
That is a great present!!
I love my 24 hour fitness. Try the classes there. I love 24 dance (mine is Latin Dance but I'm not sure if they are all the same), Boxing Boot Camp (kicks my butt), Zumba, 24 SET (again-- kicks my butt-- combo of weights, barbell, and step).
I lost my last 20+ pounds after I really kicked up my exercise and I now get cranky if I don't exercise-- never would have thought that was possible a few years ago.

Hey, happy birthday! That's a way cool birthday present. I'm jealous! I'm no where near affording a gym membership and hopefully I'll be as lucky as you when my 21st rolls around this year.

Sounds awesome!

If you decide you like it, Costco offers a 2 year membership for $299 (it was $249 a couple months ago)
