I really like being able to just duck in to the gym, run for 10 minutes, cycle for 5, stretch, do some squats, whatever, and then leave. My previous issue with gyms was that I went for the classes and they never had classes when I was available or could get there, and it was just difficult. This one is 24 hours, so it's anytime I can be bothered to get some trainers on and do stuff.

The personal training is okay - I'm not a fan of PT sessions, but even one a week has helped my general fitness, my metabolism, and my body tone.

Along with the quick jogs (which are way easier to do when out of Sydney humidity) and the PT, it's really good to have access to anything that I feel like working at on the day - chest or shoulders or core strength or something.

Our gym is open 24 hours a day. It is very handy for so many people. Schedules of classes are difficult. Plus I tend to hate classes.

Personal training I liked, but it was too expensive for me to have a trainer for many years. Now that I have the option of taking the boxing lessons, I want to continue that for as many years as I can. It's hard, but fun.

Good.

I've never actually done gym, but this sounds like a great and convenient way to do it!

I suspect that the most important thing about a gym is how easy it is for you to *go*, particularly if you go on your own. I go to the geographically most convenient one with my husband; we adapted our timetable to include classes, but there is much to be said for the days when we 'go to the gym' instead of doing a class. I hope you can keep enjoying it, and the feelings of healthiness you get from it.
