Goodbye Planet Fitness, hello Anytime Fitness

Well, I made the jump. I signed up @ Anytime Fitness and canceled Planet Fitness. AT had a $14 sign-up sale going on and I visited the location 5 min from my house.

OMG O_O.... the weight section wasn't large, but had EVERYTHING I have wanted from the beginning. So I signed up right there & then. Costs about twice what I was paying @ PF, but there are several perks that out weigh the price difference:

1. It's 5 min from my house! No more driving to the next city to find a less crowded gym. I can go home from work, change, feed the kitty (pick up packages / mail) and then hit the gym.
2. The free weight section is GREAT! Full Squat rack, true Bench Press machine, lots of BB & DD's.
3. They offer Kickboxing, Zumba & Yoga classes - INCLUDED! No extra cost. Need to find out how to sign up.
4. I get 2 PT sessions - 1 hour long to start, then a follow up 30min session. Then I can pay for additional. Will have to see.
5. I can take a guest, it's $5 per visit, but at least I can.
6. They have online tools - I went up there and set up my week of workouts. It already emailed me tomorrow's line-up and said something about it will log the workout when I tag into the location. WOOT! I'm not sure if that feature is part of the included (it has a 30 day trail) or I'll have to pay. Need to look into that.

So hopefully things will improve - yes, I will miss a week of gym at the end of the month because of work, but still. And next month is gonna be stressful & busy, but I am trying. Oh dear Lords/Ladies, I am trying.

PS: I've emailed the PT group for an appt to get instruction in correct form on my lifting. I want to make sure my Squats, Deadlifts and such not are being done correctly. Form is more important than HOW much and HOW many reps.
