Around here, almost all of the gyms are doing month to month ( even LA Fitness).. some of them you just have to call and ask.  I know when I looked at LA Fitness, it was around $89 for an Initiation fee, then first and last months fees of $29 each.. but there was definitely no contract.  Unfortunately though, they are closing usually right about the time I'm getting the itch to go run.

I know they get bagged on a lot, but with the way Planet Fitness franchises have sprung up everywhere... I'd be surprised if there wasn't one near where you need to be..  Personally, I find PF a pretty good deal.  $10 a month (cuz I don't care about tanning, massage chairs, etc.), 24hrs, tons of equipment.  I enjoy cardio more than anything, but I really dislike getting hit by cars, attacked by dogs, mugged, etc... since I can usually only run at night.  Even on nights when I don't want to do cardio, there's still plenty of strength equipment to use.  Some would describe it as the Wal Mart of gyms, and that's probably pretty accurate.. but I tend to zone out while there and couldn't tell you a thing about most of the folks who are around me, so I don't care.

The gym I'm at now is the hospital's fitness center. Its really nice. I've started going during my lunch break and that has been working out good. The gym I would go to if I got the other job would be 24hour Fitness? Or something like that. It would be in between work and home and I could go on my way home. Get there around 4 or so.

 

This week I decided to get up at 4:30 to get to the gym by 5:10 (they technically don't open until 5:30 but there's usually someone there to open up earlier) so I can work out for 2 solid hours with 30 mins cardio.  Sucks to go to bed so early (def by 9pm, ideally 8:30) but I think the results will be worth it.
