Since school is out carmichael is closing at 6 and I don't get off work and at home until about that time, so is there a decent gym to lift weights at for a few weeks until school starts back?

Peak Fitness.

You'll love it.

for the money, yes.

but if you can shell out enough for golds gym, then that is also a really good one

a few weeks being less than 2 months, I don't want to pay activations and enrollment fees.

you should be able to get a free trial at golds gym and cancel when school starts back up.

If it's just two weeks, hit up all the local gyms and tell them you are interested in joining. They will give you free passes. By the time you run out of passes, Carmicheal will be open again.

i did that with peak last summer because I needed a temp. gym, but everytime i went they made me talk to someone about joining. Such a pain in the ass.

you dont need weights or machines to workout

12/18/2007 5:44:20 PM

This is also a valid statement. No one needs machines, especially.

Find a park, rafter, swingset, or the bars outside of carmicheal, etc for pull ups. Use chairs for L dips. Throw in some burpees. For extra resistance, get some bands, a weight vest, or put some weight in a backpack.

Also throw some of this in http://www.dragondoor.com/articler/mode3/229/

http://www.simplefit.org is also a good resource

do what greek told you. It will be a nice break for your body, and it will be good to try something new thats outdoors

Yeah, try something that isn't your normal routine for a couple of weeks, it'll actually serve as extra motivation and will change things up for your body.
