Jeramie Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Im a long term Gym rat. Ive been going pretty regular for the past 8 or so years. Sadly ive taken the past year off. I had quit working in Tulsa and the quality of Gyms around the house was horrible. Most of the equipment was home made. No one put up their weights. Seats were tore, etc. In Pryor (roughly 10 minutes from the house) they built a new Community Rec Center. I knew they spent millions but hadnt been in. I switched jobs and am driving back to Tulsa so I considered joining back in Tulsa again. Yesterday I ran to Pryor and decided to check out the Rec Center for the heck of it. Wow! All of the equipment is name brand and state of the art. They have thousands of lbs of free weights, dip bars, awesome leg machines (which is something almost all gyms around the house are lacking), tons of tread mills, etc! They even have a 21" plasma tv with headphones over EVERY treadmill and stepper! They have a HUGE indoor pool, coffee/ wifi lounge, group classes like cooking, karate, etc. Im in heaven! I get unlimited Gym, pool, indoor track, etc for $25! Unlimited service with a personal trainer and group classes too is only $35! I dont need the personal trainer and dont have time for the classes. Infact I really dont need the pool so ill probably go with the $20 unlimited Gym. After a year long dry slump im back. I wont be able to walk or break a tooth pick for two weeks but I cant wait! They have to process the app first and then I can start complaining about how sore I am! Anyone else in the Gym? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ILclimber Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Back to the Gym! Not so much into the free weights, but I like to get in there and do some cardio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyderpancake Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Back to the Gym! I have been working out at an older gym all summer, but the company my dad works for just gave all employees and their families 2 free years at a nicer gym. I went yesterday and did some cardio, going today to pump some iron! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacherman Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Back to the Gym! not a gym rat here........you can tell that by looking at me........but my doctor said I needed to be walking 5 miles a day.......it is too hot to do that, so I now have a stationary bike that I ride everyday.

257bob Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Back to the Gym! WOW, that's cheap. We have been looking at several gyms since we moved north and we just can't afford it. Sounds like a great gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Back to the Gym! We've got a nice gym set up in our Physical Therapy building out behind the hospital. I hit it 4 nights a week after work. And it's free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Back to the Gym! Nope, never been the gym type, but do need to get into some kind of a exercise routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterfisherman Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Re: Back to the Gym! I workout three days a week until I get about 2 months from deer season and then I add 15 miinutes of cardio and go to 5 days a week. Deer hunting can be hard on your body. I'm a single dad so I work out at the house. My four year old has little one pound dumb bells and thinks he is working out as well. I have a stationary bike and one I get close to season I'm on it for 70 minutes a day. I have watched a lot of cartoons on that bike. I hunt public land so I like to get past all the other guys and gals and sometimes I walk a mile or two with a stand on my back and my gear in my hands. I'm not buff but I have great numbers from my doctor and my lungs and legs are in great shape. I hope this will help me stay hunting till I'm 70.
