    not for me or my gf so id assume not? i cant imagine anyone signing that, i hate signing a year long one...but resign every year for cheaper then the previous, most places raise their rates...and open new facilities...but ballys does it backwards lol

      Bally on Rice Street was US swim and Fitness, not Lifetime. Before that it was one of the first Cub Foods.

        it was the most rediculous thing i have ever seen
        How great would it have been if the laptop fell off the eliptical. I lol at the people fumbling with and dropping their cell phones and ipods on the cardio equipment, they're so preoccupied with that shit that they never even break a sweat.

                  I really wouldn't knock someone for figuring out what works for them. One of my big complaints is that I get bored of my ass on cardio machines. He isn't bothering anyone else right?

                    i couldnt see from there from just the pace i guessed seemed around there lol

                    pipe - i gave the guy credit for doing it for over an hour...but i mean its a gym, not an internet cafe...and its not like i said anything to him or even give a shit what he does for that matter i guess, it just seems alittle rediculous and you cant disagree with that

                            At my pansy gym as Mark 95.0 likes to call it, they have TVs that you can tune your radio too. It helps to make the time pass.

                            I'm kinda liking the laptop/DVD player idea. Just bring a movie or an episode of Sopranos and an hour is gone by like that.

                              if you go in the early am they'll put on a dvd if you bring it. other than that if you can't take an hour out of our day to rn a few miles without tv then you need to go outside or end your life

                                The earliest I make it to the gym would be 10:00am, so that probably wouldn't work then. This is when it's very packed with MILFs who've just dropped off the kids to school.

                                BTW, I live for TV.
