They renovated it, so it looks more like a real gym w/ real people. Vs. a scary gym w/ ex-cons and some dumb bells as I assumed all YMCAs were. <br /><br />They let us have 3 sessions with a trainer, but really they just chatted with us and showed us how to use the machines and the weight room. Great introduction and no hassle to get a paid service. The most harassing they do is ask for a donations for their kids programs.<br /><br />Also, my insurance reimburses a portion of your membership if you go 50 visits in 6 months. I just submitted my first form, so we'll see how much and if that actually works. <br /><br />So maybe I don't know my optimal heart rate or whatever, but we finally are in the habit of going regularly and have lost weight. So there personal trainers! <br /><br />I feel like I've plugged the Y on facebook or possibly your page before. I dunno. That's how much I love it. And I swear they are not paying me to say this, but they are also sooo much cheaper than all the gyms in NYC. <br /><br />Conclusion: move to New York. The money you'll save on Y membership will surely balance how much your rent will go up. Plus, they have daycare. And a pool. You like pools right??? =)anjeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492450192501242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736381686378971872.post-13511863707278296122010-07-08T08:36:11.339-05:002010-07-08T08:36:11.339-05:00Thanks Bethany, I was originally extremely irritat...Thanks Bethany, I was originally extremely irritated and I thought WWBD (what would bethany do)?<br /><br />So I put it on the internet and instantly felt more zen. Though I suspect you might have also found a way to get the gym to pay out sweet cash for the bad service!holthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14013897685712714731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736381686378971872.post-42655759810012071542010-07-08T00:31:33.169-05:002010-07-08T00:31:33.169-05:00This gave me a very good chuckle.This gave me a very good chuckle.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18343695795264808278noreply@blogger.com
