velvetee's Journal, 11 Sep 20

Proud to tick the box with my second gym session. It's a chain so I can go there both in my home town and at work. I wonder how much do you pay guys? There was an offer like they do every September everywhere so I saved 60 euros but still, it's 350e/year.

Anyway, starting slowly and mindfully, it's a 1h workout. I'll stick to this for a week or two to see how it goes. Felt that the deadlift was a little bit too much, it was a lighter bar + 2x10kg plates so I figured around 25kg. Very far from 40+ in the past, but I'll catch this at some point.

Food-wise, we like to cook as always, each his or her own meal XD I am still a huge fan of my blender, it allows me to have enough protein with the good stuff. I need at least 100g/day so it's hard unless I throw some protein powder in, preferably dairy-free.

Great job! No idea the difference between dollars and Euros- but David and I pay $45 (total) for our gym every month with free access to them if we go out of town and need to work out-since it is a chain. He is also currently paying $35 for a gym here in town that is 24 hours since our usual one has limited hours due to covid.

At my residence which is a small town its 40e/month or (my choice) 160e/year. At the capital at a big gym (YAVA) there was a three day limited offer for 68e/year weights and all other classes !!!

Nice job!! I hit plant fitness so it’s cheaper than most but I’m a black card member which is more expensive monthly but it allows me unlimited access to any PF at no additional cost. Which is beneficial when I’m at work. My monthly cost is $20 us/ 16 euros.

V, on the workout I change mine up every 4 weeks, after 12 weeks I return/restart with week 1. It allows me to keep from getting bored but also add in different exercises and techniques.

My gym is an amazing deal at $20 per month. Classes, monthly body scans and training, tanning, and other services.

DP, thanks! 45 dollars = 38 euros, that's a huge deal for 2! Here you have to sign for 12 months, it's 49 euros /application fees + 29.99 every month, so it's roughly 410 euros or 485 dollars the first year. 35 dollars/month for me alone Access everywhere within the chain from 6am till 11pm, I don't think they have any classes except a few virtual gags (not interested to be in a crowded class anyway).

Wifey 🤗 I’m trying, not easy as a lot of things on the plate. Thank you so much for your support!

Tassos 68e/year, that's cheap! And even 160 is cheap... I used to pay 50/month before, it wasn't a chain.

Mike thanks for the tips. I'll keep this steady till the end of the month I guess. I don't do split workouts, "full-body" feels more appropriate somehow. Now that I can go to the gym both at work and in my home town, maybe I get to work out more than x3 week. 5 is my ideal.

L2E you are lucky, guys, in Murica. It’s so cheap! Here they just make us bleed 🩸 😛

Velvetee, I have always preferred full body work outs as well.

It’s a cut throat business here. Low prices to beat out the competition! The high end gyms are over $100 a month.

L2E well here too, I remember paying 650 euros/year 3 years ago, it wasn’t a chain. Now it’s 350 with a discount and it’s one of the cheapest options possible. I didn’t take silly options like sugared water or a sort of fight club where you can attend jumping classes (just not my thing). I don’t have anything high end around, it’s a small town. I’d probably pay more for some individual coaching at a more expensive club but it’s in a big city only and far from my job. Not worth it.
