Fitness Plus

The first gym that I dared to review was Fitness Plus. Fitness PLus is a moderately priced located in Port Jefferson Station, NY. I prudently entered the gym and presented my guest pass. The receptionist and the manager efficiently activate amy guest pass and allowed me to simply enjoy. The gym is reasonably priced at $35 per month. In addition, there are ample machines to work out at. It is never the case that you have to wait for the cardio machine that you simply love! The atmosphere seems social. One of the members stated, "Everyone is down to earth and not too into themselves." There is a nursery on the premises for members who need a babysitter for their kids. While the nursery seemed clean and well- equipped with toys, the babysitters weren't interacting with the children. In addition, the nursery could stay open till 830 when the lat class finishes. I saw woman who had to have her daughter sit during class. There is a way to put money on a debit card for the energy drinks and protein bars that they sell which is convenient. However, there is no full service juice bar. Oh well- less traps for spending hard earned money. More to come on the zumba class I attended.

My first day

I had to take the plunge. Today I went to my first gym, Fitness Plus.Full review will follow. While I appreciated the efficient desk people who simply signed my guest pass and didn't put me through an arduous tour, I was mortified when the desk guy asked me if I had teenaged daughters with my last name. I guess the stress of this winter has taken its toll on my appearance. I enjoyed the fans that blew frigid air in my face as a plugged my way along on the bike. I also was elated that there was a step mill, which is one of the few cardio machines that forces me to work at full intensity! The alternative to working at full intensity is falling off the step mill! Stay tuned for the full review!

Which gym is right for you?

Picking a gym isn't an easy task, with the proliferation of gyms and America's obsession with weight. So what kind of gym are you looking for? One with hot, muscular guys hanging around, one with tons of classes, or maybe one with child care My mission in the next few months is to review as many gyms as possible and give you the low down on all of them. Eventually I hope to produce and publish a guide.
