GYM

I dropped my membership at the gym a couple months ago. I wanted to save some money, spend more time with my children and use the gym setup I have in my basement. I have an elliptical and a weight bench. I was doing the elliptical, but my knee started hurting constantly, and I couldn't bend down without acting like an old woman when I tried to stand back up. I have been run/walking outside now three or four days a week, but it isn't cutting it. I used to go to classes all the time at my last gym. Well, not all the time... can you imagine how neglected my children and house would be- sad thought. Moving on. Anyhow, I am bored with my workout and not feeling comfortable in my body. I need a gym and the atmosphere of people sweating and working hard and no make up and wonderful stinkiness. I realize I had no commas in the last sentence- fun. I have been looking up all the gyms in the area and have decided to try out 24 hour fitness next week. I have never been to a 24 hour fitness except for the lovely online tour- thank you internet. My only brother- Greg (yes, that is my husbands name also- no, they are not the same person), gets home from his 2 year long LDS mission in August and I need to look awesome- or just better than he remembers me. That should not be hard because I was 8 months pregnant when he left. But, I still want to look my best. I hope it is fantastic. Has anyone been to a 24 hour fitness? I heard the childcare was great.
