I know this is going to sound crazy but I love my new gym...did orientation yesterday and my first workout today....it's a completly new facility connected with our local hospital and it's got some new "state of the art" equipment including
Fitlinxx equipment and programing.

I haven't had my Health Risk Assesment yet (scheduled for Monday), but when is the last time you've joined a gym where they actually do one - complete with bloodwork etc. After our assesment we get our program and then the fitlinxx system watches over us. If we don't "show" activity via the system they call us to see if we're "OK"! And if we don't want to continue our membership we just cancel - no prepayment - monthly billing until we say "no more". I love that approach!

Anyway, hope the excitement continues, I'll let you know. Oh, the other thing - it's a "silent" gym - all of the flat screen TVs (about 20) are on fm transmitters so you tune into the sound with headphones. The equipment is almost silent too - You don't hear all that machine noise and the beds must be well cushioned because you don't hear feet pounding when the runners are working out. All in all it's looks great.
