Go As A Duo!
My wife and I recently joined Planet Fitness - very reasonable and you are charged monthly with no long term contract - three classes with a trainer are at no cost and you can take the small group classes as often as you want for no extra charge - when we went, we had the trainer to ourselves and she took us through a three day training routine - she showed us how each of the machines worked, how to set them up, and the weights that we should begin with - after three months at the primary location, you can transfer your membership to another one of the Planet Fitness facilities, which is great because we will soon be moving - clean facility, tvs to watch whils you do your cardio work, and trainers around to answer specific questions - no track or pool but we do not need that as we live in an adult commnity that offers those amenities - the spouse and I currently go together to provide encouragement but I am very comfortable there after four visits and can do the routines by myself - others working out are friendly if you need advice but do not bother you - give it a try!!
