Looking to get fit?
The YMCA has a signup special where they waive their joiner fee, expiring at the end of the day. The location map and links to individual websites is right here.
I’ve been exercising at a member at the Reston facility for about a year and a half now and am quite happy with it. It’s a few bucks more than I was paying at Golds but the facility is newer and nicer and there’s a pool. After all, we non-DC folk don’t have free pool usage.
Gee thanks for the post Don, the National Capitol YMCA was a zoo tonight. So many newbies trying to sign up, I could barely get in. Once I did it was amateur night at the gym all evening.
The best: a guy doing a bad dying chicken imitation in the fast swim lane telling a good swimmer there were already 4 in the lane. I couldn’t resist – when I told him “Yes, and its the fast lane too, Sir” he almost thought I meant to give him ammo against her. Only when he realized I meant his dying chicken was holding up us actual half-decent swimmers, did he get indignant.
Too bad she and I were 20 meters down the lane by then…
