Back in April I decided to get up the nerve and to join Planet Fitness since it was a new and affordable gym that I could join. I had seen Planet Fitness in the news before and saw that a lot of my friends were joining and I figured why not give them a try. Because I had signed up before April 30th I got a really good deal. I got it to where I didn’t have to sign a contract, could have 24/7 access to the gym if I wanted to go out in the middle of the night and workout and also to have other amenities too. I had two options to choose from and that was the $10 plan or the $19.99 plan. The difference between these two plans were that with the Black Card ($19.99 plan) I not only got to use the tanning beds unlimited, but I also get to use the massage chairs, get 1/2 off the cooler drinks, can bring in a guest if I want to and also to use any other Planet Fitness if I choose to like if I go out of town or I move or something like that. Now onto the gym part.

I didn’t use the card immediately because I was a little timid in going in by myself. I instead waited until I didn’t have Olivia so that I could go and enjoy the gym without the hassle of trying to figure out who would watch Olivia when I do decide to go. Well I waited roughly a week to go and went with my mom who also joined but instead got the $10 plan. Not too bad either. I had a good time, it wasn’t too busy which was nice especially on a Saturday Morning too. I didn’t have Olivia that weekend which was nice too and it was right before we left for Disney World. I have to say that the gym set up is very nice and I love how the gym has enough equipment for everyone to have their chance in using the treadmills and elliptical. The gym was also maintained very nicely too. I know that they gym is new but still when you live in the town we live in sometimes it doesn’t stay nice for very long. LOL. No but really it’s nice to have a clean gym to go to. I like how it also has different stations too which makes working out for those who normally don’t enjoy it to be much more pleasant. I was one of those who hated to workout. Now that’s a completely different story!

The gym staff are all so pleasant too. I’ve never had an issue with any of them either. They are all helpful too which is nice. I have to say that overall this gym is the perfect place to workout that isn’t overbearing, won’t Judge You for the way you look by your weight or size or anything else and that it’s a clean place to workout in. I look forward now to every workout I do there and can’t wait until I go back on Wednesday to get fit! What a great place for Rocky Mount area to have!

A couple weeks ago I received a very nice package from the folks at Walk At Home with 6 workout videos. I have done most of them and figured that it honestly is not that hard. Just think about this. Of all the steps that we take a day it’s so easy to achieve walking 1 mile if not more than 1 in 1 day. The day that I received the videos I went ahead and tried out 1 video. I got very attached to walking at home and honestly have walked at least 1 mile a day now. As tired as I am when I get home from work I make sure that I have walked at least 1 mile and 2 miles on the weekends. It’s great because not only am I walking to get fit but since starting up I’ve lost a total of 10lbs which is completely amazing.

The Walk at Home products are absolutely amazing because they are simple to do and you don’t really require any additional items to walk at home. It’s great. I highly recommend using these products because they are made for all ages. My 4 year old has done several workouts with me and it’s great because it gets her involved too especially on those rainy days which we have seen our fair share of the past month because we live in NC. The weather here is always so unpredictable so nine times out of ten we don’t get to go outdoors in April anyways. So if you are looking for an easy workout that is just as effective as going to the gym then you too should try out Walk at Home Products. You’ll find that you will love them just as much as I do. I plan on getting more soon too!
