Health Club

So, Ed bought me a membership to LifeTime last fall, as a birthday present to Molly and Kiera. I've been going twice a week ever since with very few lapses. I like it. I particularly like the childcare: it is free with membership (two hours a day per member, for however many kids you've got) and the staff are generally really good. It also has a low-key atmosphere: you see very few toned perfect spandex-clad bodies. People mostly mind their own business; the women who take classes together will chat in the locker room afterwards, but usually when I go, I drop off the girls, then change, stretch, work out, shower, and change again, all without saying a single word to anyone or make more than brief eye contact with anyone there. Since my kids almost do not stop talking from the time they get up in the morning until they go to bed at night, getting my head to myself for an hour and a half is a pleasant luxury.

They are currently running a promotion in which they try to get current members to give guest passes to all their friends (and if our friends then join, we get some goody). If anyone has any interest in a guest pass let me know, and I will fill out the little brochure form and send it to you.
