Although if you're paying for spin and yoga elsewhere (which probably run you about 15-20 bucks a class, am I right?) have you thought about getting a small set of weights to workout at home? You'd be really amazed with the level of workout you can get with your own bodyweight or a small, uncomplicated amount of resistance.
As for cardio, spin burns so many calories...2-3 really solid classes/week will match 3-4 workouts in the gym. |
I'm totally into using alternative training techniques - the exercise balls are awesome for working your body in different ways. My old trainer was really innovative and switched things up each session - I was pretty-fit and I don't think I could have worked myself as hard without someone telling me what to do and pushing me. I wish I could kidnap him from Hamilton and bring him here lol.
Going to a gym is motivational - plus once you make friends, there will always be someone around willing to spot you which is really important when training hard.
I have heard GoodLife has good spin classes - But I still don't like doing yoga at a gym.
After doing some research - there are enough horror stories about Extreme being shady that I'm pretty-much turned-off. Plus their marketing screams "poser pick-up gym" to me,(inevitable with any gym but I'd like to avoid that type of environment)- so I'm leaning towards GoodLife.
Has anyone tried "Uptown Fitness" at St.Clair and Dufferin?
Thanks for all your input
