Where do you work out?

Home, Department, Mil base, School?

Before I retired from a city agency, I worked out in a fairly well equipped gym at the department.

The county has smaller gyms at various county complexes which are available to all employees. Very basic equipment, but sufficient to build and maintain.

Strong, healthy employees are productive employees.

I have been off of active duty for about 6 months now, and BOY is it starting to show! I will be heading to Gold's tomorrow to get a tour and will probably buy a membership. I really need to get back into shape, it is sad. :rolleyes:

I have a gym membership, which I use every other day usually 3 or 4 days a week. It all depends on the week, example today I'm putting in a 16hr day so I won’t be getting a workout in. In-between gym days, I'm running 3-5 miles (again depends on the day) through the neighborhood.

My old office had a great gym. The office I have been in for the last 9 years leaves a little to be desired, though it has improved a bit.

I have paid for a membership to a club since 1999. They give an LEO discount, so it is not too bad at all. I like getting away to myself for working out anyways.

I have a gym membership.

I recall we spoke of this not too long ago. I did, at one time, subscribe to a local gym, but couldn't stand the egotistical, foo-foo, cliquish BS that went on there.

They are building a HUGE LA Fitness in my city and I intend on starting up as a ground floor member there when it opens. Hopefully it won't be the same as the place mentioned above.

I still miss the old P.D. gym that was predominately free weights, stunk and was full of screaming profanity as we pushed it to the limit. ;)

I will be using the agency gym soon.

I went to my old membership gym today after several months away ... and they had turned it into a :mad::eek::confused::(:mad: yoga gym! Half the lights were turned off, it was about 140 degrees, and there were hippies!!!!!!

Sure, they still had weights and cardio stuff, but the mood lighting and crap just ain't right...

I prefer the smell of sweat to patchouli and "herbs" any day.

This is unrelated, but does that mean you won on your medical history? Congratulations in advance!

PS
I both go to a commercial gym which my insurance reimburses me for and work out at home.

Not cleared yet, but I'm maintaining a cautiously optimistic stance... I sent my doc the paperwork to be completed, she said she's sending it back to the agency doc today.

Hopefully, I'll know by mid-week next week. (Fingers crossed.) Thanks in advance, though -- I'm sure it will work out somehow.

I normally work out in my mind. I haven't gotten to the point that I can bring myself to actually PHYSICALLY work out yet but I often think about it and they say that's a start! :D

Interesting thread.

Since I'm not a sworn member, I don't have access to the gym at my local agency, so I just use the one at my University. Free is free! ;)

Yep, there days at that gym I wasn't sure if it was a game of spot the future felon or that Victoria’s Secret just had a 75% off sale on their gym attire. :confused: Of course when the guys walk by smelling like an Abercrombie cologne explosion...

Good luck on your attempt at LA Fitness. I've heard both positive and negative about that place.

A new Golds Gym just opened near me. It's really nice but I'm spending more time at the smoothie bar than working out. :D:p

[CelicaGuy]

Gym membership, they just opened one up in the town I live in, it is 24/7/365 which is nice because the days off that I am not working thirds, I will go in at like 3am just so I can keep my sleep pattern. They have a little braclet that you wear so that if you get in any trouble you push the button and it calls the Emergancy Services (Police and EMS). I love working out there, they have nothing but Hardcore rock playing in the weight room, and running area.

There is also a seperate part for yoga, that is sound proof, so I don't have to workout next to some hippie, who smells of POT!

I just got home from the 24 hour down the street. I LOVE working out at 230 in the morning. I drive by the place around 6pm on my way to work and the lot is packed. I think there might have been one other person there tonight, and I think he was an employee on his break.
