A few weeks ago, I took our car to be worked on & noticed a woman's gym next door. I looked it up online when I got home & thought it sounded great but sort of forgot about it. Last Saturday, I met up with the walking group from our church at Lake Miramar. The woman in charge, Lauren, said she worked at Breathe, the gym I had seen. Knowing that, I emailed her a bunch of annoying questions :) Starting Tuesday, I am going to do a 14 day trial to see how much I like Breathe.
The last time I was in a big gym was back after I had Jared. He was probably 2, so 9 years ago. Daniel paid extra for me to have a trainer since I didn't know what the heck to do. They paired me up with this giant, buff, young, handsome guy. I'm sure most women would be thrilled. Me? I was mortified. This guy had to take my measurements in the middle of the gym, all while chatting it up with his weight lifting friends. I remember using one machine & him sitting there talking to a couple friends about going out that weekend. Wow, that didn't make my anxiety go through the roof or anything!
But now, after losing 30 pounds with pretty much just changing the way I eat, I am ready to kick it up a notch. I like that thought of a gym being all women & also knowing someone that is already there is a HUGE plus for me. Since they don't have child care, I will be going at 5:45am (*yawn*) & then hopefully I can go back most nights as well. Weekend mornings I'll go as well. I promised myself that I will go in there with an open mind, knowing that I usually try to find things wrong with a place so I never have to go back :)
The first day, I am going to Lauren's class called RPM. The description is: RPM™ is the indoor cycling workout where you ride to the rhythm of powerful music. Take on the terrain with your inspiring team coach who leads the pack through hills, flats, mountain peaks, time trials, and interval training. Lauren has assured me I won't die & that I can do it. I'm holding her to that :)

Good luck! Sounds like a much better gym than your last experience. Let me know how you like it.
Ok. First of all, your questions were not annoying. This is what I do and am passionate about it and I want other people to experience it. Second of all, YOU ROCKED RPM and I can't wait to see you back!!!
