Its about time my fat *** get back in shape..

anyone have any suggestions.. both me and my girl want to get this sorted.. =) preferably north fremont near decoto/84

 

Fitness 2000 at Lido Plaza near Ranch 99 on Newark blvd.

 

^+1

or

Planet Fitness

$10 a month and they have a **** load of cardio machines. Its on mowry across from olive garden.

 

costco deal for 24 hour fitness. ALL club so if you move you can go w.e. gym. 300 for 2 years comes up to like 14 a month. very nice deal for nice club.

 

^^^ Well, its all Sport Clubs and below so you wouldnt be able to go to the Super Sport or Ultra Sport Clubs; not sure which, if any, of those are near Fremont.

At $300 for two years it's still a really good though since most clubs, to my knowledge, are "Sport" or "Active" clubs which you'd have access to.

 

san jose alone has like 14 diffrent clubs. probably 1 super

 

Now I have been out of this for quite some time. What do you guys think is preferable? Something with more cardio or weights. Remember my girl will also be joining as well to both get in shape.. Obviously me more than her.

 

To lose weight and tone you should probably do lots of cardio and light weights for high reps.

 

Find something that is balanced. You want to do cardio but weights also help in burning fat. When you lift weights your body continues to burn calories as the muscles repair themselves. IMHO even if the gym had 50 cardio stations and 50 weight stations, its all about what time you go workout. If you go between 4pm-7pm chances are it will be crowded.

 

dang.. and i was hoping to work out at that time as that is the only free time...

 

not really people switch off very often. more like 6'clock rush hour. thats when everything is full. i go at 4pm and its decently fine. the more muscle you have the faster you burn fat. imo do it like this. set days for diffrent parts of your body and after the workout just walk fast at 3.5-4.0 speed on the running machine for 40 minutes. walking fast>running for weight loss.

 

What 24hr do you go to?

 

the paseo one next Washington hospital in fremont

 

How do you like it? I live down the street and am thinking of joining.

 

its great dude. that one is open 24/7 so you can go whenever. definantly go for the costco deal since it is a all-club. if you want to check it out you can get a 2 week membership online at the website or just walk in for a 1 week trial.

 

I like where Im going now but they don't have free weights. I hate lifting on a machine.


Josh, you giving up the cigs?

 

Not at Fitness 2000 as compared to Bally's near Decoto, which is always crowded starting 5pm.

 

NEVER gonna give up ciggs.. i remember when i was young.. i used to play ball and smoke at the same time.. just gotta train my lungs hahaha
