I got a 1-year membership this past July. I went several times, and then got hung up on being embarrassed to be there because I was always the biggest person there, and didn't go for over a month. Then, my husband went to work a shutdown and was working 7 days/week, 12hr shifts, overnights. He was only home/awake for 3hrs/day and we couldn't afford the cost of using the gym childcare for 3 kids for me to go. So from Sept-Dec I didn't go at all, and my diet followed right out the window.
I went back last night for the first time, and wrote myself up a schedule on our family calendar for me to go 4x/week.
Last night I did the BodyPump class, and it totally kicked my butt! The gym is located upstairs at our supermarket, and I could barely make it down the stairs to get to my car afterwards, my legs were so shaky LOL I'm definitely feeling it this morning, too. I plan on going back, though, and doing the class twice a week. I'd rather get my strength training in this way, I don't really like the machines very much.
Sunday I plan on trying the NewBody class, and I'd like to try the BodyFlow class, too.
... I remember reading on an other thread about your embarassement in the gym, I'm glad you're pushing through it ... Eventually you'll make friends and maybe get a group of you to go to the weight room....
