I made an appointment to tour the facility and discuss membership fees (how fancy). The facility is nice. I mean, its big, has lots of stuff. But really it's a building, with work out equipment, a basketball court, a locker room, and a lot of sweaty people... basically the same as any other fitness facility. Finally, the "monthly fee discussion"... I was not really thrilled about this and was planning on my stomach dropping when I heard the numbers. Joining fee: $50. Monthly fee: $50. WHAT! There goes my fitness goals, flying out the window. Oh but wait! You're a student? YES! You're between the ages of 18 and 29? YES! And we are doing a 50% off joining fee special this month. YES! All in all, it came down to $24.50 prorated for this month, and $30/month for the next year. Not too shabby. Definitely will be worth it when I start pumping out results. :) Oh, but one last thing... this whole daycare situation. Not only am I paying $30 a month to leave my sweat on these people's equipment, I'm paying an extra $4/hour for my son to crawl around in "Kyd's Court". Yeah... they can't even spell Kids. (haha) I guess that's the price you pay to be fit

The Cost of Being Healthy
So today was the day. The day I decided I was going to stop complaining about all the negative in my life and actually do something about them. It's time for change. Okay, so actually it was yesterday, but today was when it all started. In this lame town, there is one; exactly ONE fitness center that offers childcare. ONE! That is it. My choices of which fitness center to join were gone, it didn't matter how much the joining fee was, how much the monthly fee was, because this was the only way I was going to be able to work out.
