When i was a kid the YMCA was everywhere-literally. I didn't know anyone who wasn't involved in something at the YMCA. As I got older and high priced gyms and programs like Curves became more popular, the YMCA kind of dropped off the radar.
There are only two reasons that people don't work out. They either don't have time or they can't afford the membership fees at those high priced gyms I was talking about earlier. The YMCA takes care of both of those problems. How? First, let's talk membership. Membership fees at the Y are only a fraction of what it would cost you to join a gym with more equipment than people on it, and that includes regular classes and programs.
Personally, I recommend their Zumba classes. I haven't tried them myself, but I hear good things.
The other nice thing is that joining an exercise program at the Y doesn't leave you with a lot of wiggle room to decide you don't want to work out after all. You've made the commitment, and when you're there you don't have telephones or laptops or televisions sitting in front of you begging you to find other ways to spend your time. It makes the time for you, forcing you to step out of your busy schedule and keep your commitments.
Really, what more could you ask for? And since there's a YMCA in almost every county in the United States there should be one just a stone's throw away from wherever you happen to be.
