Being in the Navy, it's usually difficult for me at least to get to the gym on base to get a decent workout in before morning muster at 7, and by the time I'm done helping with the 4 kids in the evening it's too late to drive back to the base for a workout by 9pm when the gym closes. I would prefer to go on base though if it were more convenient since, aside from the price (free for me and the wife), I think it fits more of the "lifter's gym" category. There is certainly a higher weight to machine ratio, even if a few of the benches and rack have seen better days. Not ragged or unsafe looking, just used which is a good thing right? I think the lure of places like 24 Hour, Bally's, LA Fitness, Frog's, etc is the way these places appeal to most females. Not too many women are into lifting, but they don't mind running or walking on a treadmill or eliptical so these places fill the room full of aerobic machines and spin bikes to keep the ladies pouring in. It's not all bad. There is usually some decent eye candy strolling around too ;-) I can relate to this story, since I have a membership to 24 Hour myself.

So when my wife suggested to visit Rome for a week, I looked up on the net a hotel with a gym. If you ever go to Rome and want to workout, go to the "All Time Relais & Sport Hotel " the real thing!! plus two pools. Hi, I just started workout and I’m seriouse about it.

That may not be a negative, however. My guess is that it is better than NOT doing exercises, and it is a whole lot easier to pack some bands in your suitcase than it is to pack dumbbells. Sometimes, it is even easier than trying to locate a fitness center. Mind you, I am BRAND NEW at training, so probably anything is going to help me. Experienced (and well developed) people will likely find bands a little bit sissy.

I think I'd have a hard time "mentally" feeling fulfilled with them, but I shouldn't poo-poo until I've tried. Anyone else try them? Hi Robyn – I’ve never tried bands.
