On the odd occasion I can motivate myself to get up off the couch and remotely challenge myself, I come to The Lakes. The facilities here are great. Downstairs is a large weights room, filled with the local meat heads all trying to out do each other with their with their giant muscles, tight t shirts and questionable B.O. They also offer a a womens weight room, a circuit room, and two cardio rooms– One with a giant screen that pumps out the latest music videos. That is, when MTV or VH1 bother to play music anymore. But thats another story… Everything is new, clean and really well kept. I love the privacy that the womens weights room allows, and its nice to be in the cardio room sweating it out to the giant screen, rather than constantly trying to put my earphones back in as I run(read: walk fast) on the treadmill. They have a pool too, and offer kids swimming lesons in the evening. The spa and sauna are quite nice too, albeit abit small. If I was ever going to join a gym and buy a membership, it would be here. Though lets face it, in reality Im not going to. Oh well, think I ll go see whats on TV.
