I am very lucky to have a corporate sponsored gym membership that allows me to pay just a mere 12pounds from my paycheck each month for LA Fitness. The money is taken straight out of my payslip so I barely even notice that I pay to go to the gym. Usually a regular membership is 35pounds, I get a savings of over 50%!!!
A bonus is that right now the personal trainers are on some kick to up their client base. Most likely because of the usual January increase in gym attendance due all of the people who ate and drank too much over the holidays and have made a resolution to now get fit. I am happy as it meant that I got an hour free session with a trainer this evening, another 35pound savings. It was the best workout I've had in ages... well except for abs blast I went to this weekend that made muscles on the sides of my ribs I didn't know existed ache for days! I loved working with a personal trainer. She had me huffing and puffing on the machines and my face turned bright red for ages. Rather than my normal nice and steady wins the race routine on the cross training she had me doing interval training that made me so out of breath I could barely manage a smile when she asked if I was alright. Her shouting to keep going and get faster and keep it up, really helped. Then some weights and push ups trying to strengthen my poor little arms. And of course crunches to improve my eight pack. I felt great, that painfully horrible great feeling that proves I did something good for myself.
Trick now is to motivate myself as she did next time I go to the gym.
Love
