Just finished cleaning up after checking out the 24 Hour Fitness, literally across the street. I need to get myself back into the gym and have friends who are satisfied customers, so I thought I'd give it a try. It's a "circuit training" facility, meaning that you spend one minute on each of twentysomething machines. This bodes well for my college-developed mantra, "If you save everything until the last minute, it only takes a minute," but the by-the-books health and safety side me me wants more evidence (see previous sunscreen and earplug post). My previous gym experience included hand-picking a trainer (I selected the one pursuing her PhD in exercise stuff), and then getting a personalized workout plan, complete with math. The circuit scene is very much one size fits all.
It's proving difficult to find any articles that aren't sponsored by a circuit training outfit, but if they're out there, I'll find them. Oh yes, I will find them.
Joining a gym also sports an alluring air of danger due to a big ole staph epidemic making the rounds in the Bay Area right now.
