I go to the KITS Fitness World and I like it. I usually workout in the Women's only area lol

I have also heard great things about Ron Zalkos as well.

does RZ have a crazy contract like fitness world?

^^Define "crazy".

It's been a ton of time since I signed on, but my contract (through my job) worked out to $21.40/month tax and all, year minimum, month-to-month after that, 30 day notice on cancellation. I think a "normal" rate is closer to $30.

If you want, I can get a trial pass for you to check the place out (or you can print the web pass from their site). Ron and staff are usually pretty good about such things with the regulars.

^ That's the one in the Chemetics building (the building is on Cornwall, the gym is in the rear, so it's just across the alley from the building where RZ is).

^ Lithe, i will totally work out with you!

i need to return to my "carido queen" behaviour. And my weight training too! If you end up signing up for fitness world, we should be work out buddies

Truthfully, being at fitness world at 6 oclock at night is not always the best. But, for females who don't need 200 pound weights to lift for bicep curls, it is fine. There is a lot of equipment, plus, if you're stuck somewhere like richmond, or coquitlam, you can always go to the fitness world out there. It just gives you a little bit of freedom.

And like i said before- i really liked being able to go work out no matter what time of day it was. During exams i definitely took advantage of the fact that i could go on the eliptical or treadmil at 12 am....2 am.....6am.....etc.

Not to mention that studying while on the eliptical kept my brain and body moving, rather than falling asleep.

Also-- Lithe i think you are still at ubc, right? Although the campus gyms are convinent, they are the worst forms of meat markets. Every time i went into the bird coop, i felt like if i wasn't in full lululemon and make up, hair done etc, then i was inferior.
Fitness world has its moments like that too- but there are enough people in there in shorts and teeshirts that it doesn't matter.

i've gradded. i had a pass for the bird coop for one season, and used it twice... definately too high pressure for me. there'd even be guys lined up doing 'bicep curls' watching the girls do aerobics (and vice versa) yikes.

the only reason i'd choose kits workout over fitness world is because it offers more classes and all the classes are free.. i'll have to weigh my options though.

At one time Kits had great equipment, new, shiney, quality stuff...then when a gym down the street shut down they got rid of the new stuff and got the used stuff, without altering their prices...decisions like that, as a customer frustrate me...

Out of all the fitness worlds my favorite is the kits one for sure... Good equipment, lots of cardio machines, good ladies section... 6pm at any gym sucks..

shop around for a great gym.
