--- Quote from: Dugdeep ---I'm really enjoying the workouts and, once I get my finances back in order, I plan on returning to the gym. It really feels like a great way to increase body intelligence and get you more comfortable in your own skin, IMO, as well as getting you into great shape quickly.

I've slowed down on my workouts too, and have been a little uneasy about joining a gym. I've never really liked the "vibes" at any of them. These high intensity routines could be different, since they seem to be based more around play, like you say dugdeep, instead of "look at how much that guy is benching," lol.

Yeah, I've always been turned off by gyms, too. I joined one when I was fresh out of University and just got creeped out by the rows of people on machines staring at the television. It really seemed quite sinister to me, like voluntary programming, or some such thing. I only lasted a couple of months there.
The place I'm currently going to isn't like that at all. It's all class based, no machines, and is a lot more like play, like you said Hesper. It's tough work, mind you, but there is a certain element of fun.

They use medicine balls, kick boxing, and other things that look like they'd be fun. I'm not sure if it's expensive or not but I plan on checking it out when this semester slows down and I can focus better.

There's also Crossfit gyms around, that might be worth looking into (although my understanding is that some of these gyms are better than others. Buyer beware).

Thanks for the heads up! I found one in my city and plan on checking it out.
