Anyone that orders coffee and uses more than four syllables should be shot on sight.

The gym I belong too is way to hoity-toity for my liking, but it's really nice and the pools (4 of them in the summer, 2 in the winter) are empty in the early AM when I swim.  It's 100/month, including the 10$ minimum at the cafe, which is usually me buying 5 bottles of gatorade on the last day of the month.

I've only ever done one spinning class despite being at gyms which have had free classes for almost two years.

I signed up for a year. It's a huge place: 33,000 sq. ft. and they seem to have at least one of everything. They have a huge room of aerobic things (various kinds of stair climbing, eliptical somthings, and skiing things), each with its own individually controlled DirecTV. A very large cycling room with, probably 40 or so good quality stationary bikes (NTS: measure the road bike so I can duplicate the fit). An enormous room of various kinds of weight lifting things (pins, plates & resistance). Several "empty" rooms for yoga, pilates, stretching, aerobics and like classes. Plus a 4-lane lap pool.

Very nice place, really.

This replaces (and greatly expands) a gym that used to be on the same site. That one was primarily a gay gym, but now that the neighborhood has changed so much and BUMC/BMChas increased in size many times over, it's about ½ gay and ½ people in scrubs.
