LOL, I'm just about to start working out at LA Fitness here in the UK too!
DD and her friend joined during the week, and I was very impressed with the list of classes and how cheap monthly membership seemed to be. So I decided to go and have a look around, and signed up there and then.
Although I will still continue using the gym at work, because I enjoy working out in my lunch hour, I’ve been feeling for a while that I need more than it can offer. It’s very basic and there aren’t any classes as such, for example.
LA Fitness, on the other hand, has everything I want and more. It has a fabulous weights room. Like many gyms it has all the various weight machines, but it also has a large free weights section … looking forward to actually using a squat rack at last.
Plus, an hour’s induction, and a ˝ hour session once a month with a Personal Trainer are included in the price … additional sessions can be booked for a fee.
One of the PTs is a
C.H.E.K certified trainer, and was really pleased to meet someone that actually knew what that meant … and he was also impressed that I had read, and had my own copy of
Eat, Move and Be Healthy.
I’m trying out my first class later today … Body Pump, which (for those who might not know) is a resistance class using barbells and adjustable weights. I’m also planning on having a swim and a sauna.
Also looking forward to taking some Pilates classes again.
I'm planning on continuing with following Tom Venuto's Intermediate WO from BFFM, but I'll also be adding in various classes etc to take my training up a level.

I just saw a can of pumpkin in my pantry. I don't recall off hand, but I was surprised the carbs weren't as high as I would have thought. I think it was the fiber that brought down the total amount. It seems like it would be a difficult food for people to integrate regularly into their food plan.

You're welcome!
After reading your comment about the can of pumpkin, it did occur to me that I could perhaps mix canned pumpkin with my cottage cheese or put it in a shake. I'll have to buy a can and try it.

I just joined this board yesterday and I'm really liking it so far.

Hi Stacie, and welcome to the WT Babes thread
It's always great to see another lifting fan posting here.
Plus, I see that you're another dog lover
- which quite a few of us who post here are!

I'd like to talk a bit about what Katie speaks of here. I work with one trainer only and I do have to keep pushing him to correct my form BUT..I told him early on to push me by raising the weights...that I want to be challenged and he has complied with my wishes....now if I can get him to just show up on time!!

Hey Judy, good to see you posting
Interesting that everyone seems to have to keep telling their trainer to push them ... although I don't think Lisa had to with hers.
I wonder if it'll be the same with me ... though the PTs I met yesterday all seemed far too keen not to push; especially the CHEK trained guy.
BTW, saw
this in the latest T-Nation newsletter … definitely one for the ladies!
