Gym vs. no gym

Short backstory: I swam competitively from 7th grade through high school. My high school swim team was, and still is, hardcore. Since I graduated 10 years ago, I have had absolutely no motivation to be active. I feel like getting up to swim at 5am and staying at practice after school til 6pm through high school burnt me out. Forever. And ever.

However, I have this new "craving" to exercise. I actually really want to get back in the pool; mostly because I HATE sweating. Wanting to swim requires a gym membership. I've never belonged to a gym. The cost along with the fact that I'm not sure how dedicated I would be... I am phenomenally lazy... is really stopping me from moving forward. I'm looking at an LA Fitness and a Jewish Community Center. They're both roughly 20min from me. Any gym lovers that can motivate me to go for it?

Re: Gym vs. no gym

  • You can do it! insert Waterboy gif. I'm not really motivated myself. I need to be seeing as I'm doing my first sprint triathlon this summer! Good luck!

  • I have found that when I am paying for a gym, I am a whole lot more motivated to work out. Now that I get a free membership, it is somewhat difficult to find the motivation.

  • We're about to join one. I'm super excited! I'm not even sure if the one we're joining has a pool, but it has these water massager things that I'm super excited for. I looove swimming, but I don't think any of the ones around us have a pool except for the YMCA.
