This year my husband and I decided to join a gym. Yes, I know we can go to the base for free, but the base only offers so much and is super crowded. So this new year we joined Villasport:
Working out has never been so much fun. Mostly because of how much this gym offers. Here's a tour...
As you can see here is an overview of the first floor which offers a selection of free & selective weight machines. There is also a cafe & a Starbucks. And for those of you who have children, Villasport offers free childcare with your membership.
I'm not much of a basketball player, but my husband loves to play. Villasport offers a NBA sized court ready for leagues, tournaments, & games.
Spin is more of my kind of workout. I can pretty much say that I'm addicted to it. The great thing about this gym is that they have a room for each activity such as aerobics, pilates, yoga, & of course spin, so there is no sharing of a room meaning there are double the classes!
No need to wait for a cardio machine since there are over 100 cardio machines to choose from all equipped with personal TV's.
And after a hard workout, you can stop by the spa for a nice relaxing massage or a pedi/mani. Totally worth it.
Can you guess what that picture to the right is? Yup, the locker room which includes a whirlpool, sauna, steam room, & showers.
And the greatest perk of this gym is the indoor & outdoor pools & waterpark, including a lazy river.
Some people may think I'm crazy for joining this gym, but I think it's definitely worth every penny. We literally eat, sleep, work, & workout. Who would have thought a workout would be so relaxing in a way? So my new year's resolution, like so many others, is to get my butt into shape. And of course that means I have to change my diet plan as well. So starting this week, my husband and I shopped at Whole Foods and are going to cook healthy meals. I'm going to update this blog to keep myself accountable. Last night we cooked chicken fajitas:
It was way too cold outside to grill these yummy fajitas, so the stove top was just going to have to work. My workout consisted of a 3 mile run, lower body & back workout, and I swam laps in the pool..which is very difficult. Swimming laps isn't as easy as it looks!
Tonight's meal consists of baked salmon, asparagus & a squeeze of lemon. Today is my rest day at the gym. =) Until next time!
