Chad came to visit again for a few days and we decided we needed to check out gym memberships. We had been talking about it for awhile but decided the time to act is NOW - Kent is now old enough where we feel comfortable leaving him in their "Kid's Club" for an hour or two if we must; and we want to get ourselves back in shape!
We checked out 24 hour fitness, which, had a great gym but a HORRIBLE Kid's Club. It was like a closet with a mat in it. Literally. 10 year old kids would be running right next to our 10 month old. Cue Mommy panic attacks. No bueno.
Oddly enough, we had gotten a postcard in the mail from Express Fitness about $9.99 memberships and state of the art equipment! We drove ourselves up there, saw the amazing gym, and asked to see the Kid's Club -- preparing for another closet. Nope! Although it was small, it was sectioned into three sections by age. The baby section had TONS of age-appropriate toys and things for Kent to do! The staff happily plays with the kids and has fun with them. Sold.
So now for $30 bucks a month, Chad, Kent, AND I have unlimited access to this gym for the three of us. NO EXCUSES TO NOT GO!
I went last night and did 30 minutes on the treadmill, 15 on the elliptical. It felt SO good! I went again this morning and did another 30 minutes on the treadmill, and about 15 minutes of weights! Both times, Kent was happy and they are taking good care of him!
So the Stewart family is getting fit around here... and so excited about it!
