With fashion weeks, dog duty, two-day jaunts to Montreal, martinis, Netflix and chill and energy shortages due to lack of kale in my diet, I have not been a very good girl to my body lately. In fact, it’s been 6 weeks and counting since my last workout and the more I think about that growing distance between me and a coconut derrière, the worse I feel. Thankfully, I’ve been given the opportunity to join the GoodLife gym down the street from my apartment this fall, which couldn’t have come at a better time, and hence I have #noexcuses to not #MakeitHappen.
Here’s what I love about GoodLife so far: the Yoga studio, TRX training, Les Mills BodyPump, sauna and steam rooms (a must in my vernacular), cardio machines that face a bank of windows; massage therapists onsite that have Tibetan soundtracks that follow them wherever they go; huge change rooms, cycling classes, 20 minute workouts (for people like me), and last but not least, delicious smoothies.
Here’s what I hate about my GoodLife gym so far: the three flights of stairs I have to take every time I go to the gym. There’s an elevator, too, but I think they just put that there to test your willpower. One day I hope to make it up without being out of breath before I even change into my workout gear.
Anyways, I’m tired of feeling lousy about my body and this new membership at GoodLife is exactly what I need right now. I love being fit, I love working out and sweating. I love that tight feeling in my muscles on rest day. But with my schedule, it’s hard to make time – and I know I’m not alone in feeling like this. GoodLife is perfect because I can workout at any of the locations near me and I have an arsenal of exercise options to choose from depending on my mood. I’m a sucker for variety and GoodLife gives me that flexibility.
So, follow along on social media as I get my butt into gear this Fall with the help of GoodLife Fitness and share your own workout woes with me. Let’s commiserate and then sweat it out! (Thank god for towel service).
