LA Fitness is coming to MA!

 

I love my current gym, but find the lack of classes a big negative. The problem is I can walk to my gym now, they have a pool (which is hard to find), I love that my locker room is a kid-free zone, and did I mention that I can WALK to the gym. Guilt aside though, if you’re not getting what you want from your gym you need to reevaluate your options. New gyms are opening all over and I’m happy to say that LA Fitness is coming to Massachusetts this year!

I knew I needed to at least entertain the possibility of switching to a new gym and met with the membership man for LA Fitness yesterday to talk about my current gripes with my current gym and he totally put my mind at ease with a lovely slide show and some great points about their membership and facilities. The Saugus, MA location for example will have some great features that I’m looking for:

• Lower price – around $45 for the state and/0r town memberships (towel service not included for $5/month)
• HUGE facility that includes a very nice locker room, 5-lane Olympic sized swimming pool, the largest weight room in Mass, a separate aerobics room, a spinning room, and more
• Tons of classes (everything from hip hop and  boot camp to Pilates and belly dancing)
• Large number of cardio and lifting machines so you don’t have to wait in line
• State-of-the-art equipment, not to mention new

Needless to say, I signed up. It is scheduled to open in June 2008 so we’ll see if they can stay on schedule and meet my expectations. I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, check out the gyms near you and figure out if switching it up may be the thing to get back on track!
