I agree with Ender, see if you have a friend or possibly family member who would be your workout partner... check into your club's personal training options. Load the MP3 player of your choice with music you love that gets you pumped up - that always helps me get motivated. Also, if you picture yourself looking the way you want to at whatever your goal is, and keep that mental image in your mind as you work out, it will feel good knowing you are on the road to your goal. And if all else fails, I'm sure plenty of us here would be happy to be your cheerleader! You can do it!

Awesome! Kudos to you! Sounds like you found your motivation, and once you start noticing the weight loss you're working so hard to achieve, THAT will be all the motivation you need :-)

Checking back in to say Heeeeeey!

I'm currently doing a four run trail race challenge (6 miles -done-, 8 miles -Saturday-, 10 miles & 13.1 miles). After that, I plan to do a second half marathon, visit Austin (possibly unrelated, but still exciting), and then do three marathons before the end of the year.

I might die.

In preparing for my trip, I was researching the gyms in Austin that are affiliates of mine. I noticed something strange. My gyms offer tanning to go with your workouts. The Austin gyms offer massage! I think we're doing something wrong. Is tanning or massage offered in anyone else's gyms? Is one more common than the other?

OKbye!

We have tanning and massage chairs at our gym, but not actual massages. I think I need to go to THAT gym.

My gym has tanning, which is pretty typical. Some gyms have salons that rent space and run their own business. Mine used to have a chiropractor. Now we have those big hair dryers. God only knows what they do in there.
