I personally appreciate this change which means you don't necessarily have to travel between floors to access weights. There's just one issue that needs attention, the shower area. Once a month or so I shower at the gym. Somehow the shower curtains have shrunk considerably and only covers half the shower stall. Beyond the issue of eliminating privacy, there's a liability issue. The floor outside the shower now is considerably more wet and far more slippery. I can't imagine that the budget for shower curtains is so constrained safety is compromised.

I was at Planet Fitness this morning. I had a great workout, but when I returned to my locker, I…read morefound that it had been broken into--fortunately, nothing was taken. The poor guy with the locker next to mine wasn't so lucky. His cash and cards were stolen out of his wallet. And a third guy across the locker room about 15 feet away from me,his locker had also been broken into. This is exactly why I don't leave my iPhone, AirPods, or wallet in my locker. I bring all my valuables onto the gym floor with me. I was fortunate they couldn't take anything from me. They left my winter clothes,clothes,boots and backpack just as I had them, so it looks like they were only targeting cash and cards. But if they have dug into my backpack they would have found $8.00 worth of quarters and an expensive iPhone battery Charger. I guess they didn't have time to dig through stuff, they might have gotten caught doing that. So they take everything in eyesight,quick and fast. The police were there taking statements. From what other people at the gym told me, this is a recurring issue--apparently happening about once a month--and it's likely the same person or group. They're using some kind of bolt cutters to get through the thin metal part of the lockers, not the locks themselves. Now I understand why most of the lockers in the men's locker room are unusable--the lockers themselves have been cut open. You can't even rely on a lock. I started going to another gym.

It's safe to say I have probably taken almost every class offered, and I have enjoyed all the classes. I generally lean toward the strength classes, and my absolute favorite is the "Balance and Strength" class. The exercises are different every week, and all the coaches are great!

But…read morewhen overall wear-and-tear began to creep in, I decided to join this neighborhood gym to delay the ravages of time. Since the last time I did weight machines was in the Jack LaLanne/ Bally Total Fitness era, I decided to hire a trainer to give me a kind of orientation and help me launch a fitness routine. Liam came highly recommended. He customizes our sessions to reach my goals, and modifies them as my goals change. Liam knows my medical conditions, which he works with, and weak areas, which he helps me to strengthen. He suggests exercises I feel comfortable doing on my own in the gym, or at home. Liam can point out details of how a position or motion should feel, so I know when I'm doing it correctly. I have the attention span of a flea, yet he designs routines that are challenging and entertaining. He checks in often during a session, yet he can somehow inspire one or two more reps out of me than I believe possible. Befitnyc has a variety of classes which I've just begun to check out, from barre-pilates and tai chi to cross- and interval-training to zumba, all included in the very reasonable cost of membership. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the facilities are clean and well designed for a relatively small space. Best of all, the laid-back, diverse clientele makes me feel like I belong.

The young brother showed me the correct fighting stance and took me through a series of exercises in both the ring and on a mat on the floor. Ask for Malachi, not "Coach Popeye," who was unprofessional. About 30-45 minutes before I met Malachi, Popeye (who shouldn't even have that name, he's more of a Brutus minus the toughness) had me jump rope for approximately 20-30 minutes while he walked out of the gym and left me (my first day) to figure out what to do next. When I didn't see "Popeye" anywhere on the floor, I went up to the main desk and inquired about his whereabouts. WTF! The front desk young man quickly apologized for that guy's ineptness and took me over to Brother Malachi. I was in good hands from then on! Again, people, ask for Malachi and tip him at the end (I was so exhausted I didn't think to do that...next time lol). Peace.
