Thinking of joining my local branch.  Did a tour today and it was about what I expected from having looked at the website first.  It's nice.  They have some nice amenities.

I'm pretty much where I want to be fitness-wise, but it might be time for a change of scenery.  Since 2020 I have worked out solitary in my garage with a weight rack, bar bell and 10-45 lb plates in the corner.  Also have a freestanding bag that I work on some.  I skip rope and do burpees and shit for cardio.  For several years pre-covid I trained krav, boxing and some JJ.  

If you work out in your garage you know how it is sometimes.  Even though it's just one hour a few times a week, sharing space with cars, cleaning supplies, kids bikes etc is a drag.  Then there's the dog hair and mud and whatnot on the floor.  Then it gets bone-chilling cold in winter and suffocatingly hot in summer.  I've put up with it all these years but maybe it's time to treat myself a little.  

Another big reason to join would be for my kids who are 8 and 5.  I think they would enjoy it.  I took my daughter with me on the tour (the 8-year old) and she liked it.  They are both fish, so was I at that age, and they would love the pool, especially the outdoor pool in summer.  For me it might be nice to be around other people and take some classes.  

The only negative is that it's a 30-minute drive from home.  And if I pick the kids up at school first it's 15 minutes the other way to get them.  But weekends won't be as bad, and it's on the way home from work if I go by myself.  I'd want to go at least three times a week (two with the kids) to be worth it.

That's a lot of travel.  Nothing closer?

There are regular gyms yeah but I’m not interested in that. Life time is more a resort/country club deal. And you pay for it. Family of four cost about $300 a month. I’d be doing this for the kids as much as me.

We looked at our local one this past spring. We just couldn’t justify the monthly cost for a family of 4

After a heart attack, I was a member for about a year.
