the incline on my treadmill went out and i think the whole thing is about to go out cause it smells like it's overheating when i use it and it makes a funny noise. plus it's like 10 years old. i'm scared to get on it! lol. so i'm thinking of joining a gym as i can't afford to go out and get a new treadmill. i've been a member there before so i already know all about it but i dunno. i HATE going to gyms. i feel so self concious; as if everyone is thinking i'm too fat to be working out and being grossed out. i dunno. i went today on a week pass thing. it was allright. i mean, i would have access to so many peices of equipment, they have a child care area, it's about $30 a month, and close to my house. but the contract is 3 years. wow! plus...u know how i feel about gyms. any thoughts?
