Back in 2017 our founder, Jess Ceresino, shared her reasons for why she quit the gym. Well, I’m here to tell ya, I quit the gym, too. Now let me clarify. I still have my trainer, and I have my Peloton, and now that is it. I canceled my LA Fitness and Anytime Fitness memberships, saying so long to the traditional gym. To be honest, I hadn’t stepped foot in my LA Fitness in *gasp* three years, until I went to cancel. THREE YEARS. Three years worth of membership just down the drain. Here’s the honest truth, I don’t even need that many gym memberships. I’m not a professional workout person who travels the world and needs gym access in every city I go to. I’ve also had my issues with the gym, from them being too overwhelming with people hogging up machines, equipment, etc. But let me explain my reasons.<\/p>\n
With my Peloton bike and membership, the two combined is<\/em> a gym membership. If you haven’t read my original post on the Peloton, check out my thoughts after the first 30 days, here<\/a>. The membership itself offers yoga, strength, bootcamp, yoga, running, meditation, all of it. With the current social distancing guidelines, it makes things more convenient with the Peloton app and all of its features. Not to mention, the community in Peloton is everything! I can’t tell you how many connections I’ve made just from Peloton. High-fiving with strangers in the middle of a ride, and collecting milestones keeps me going. I don’t think I’ve even spoken to anyone at the regular gyms. I usually tried to get in and get out as quick as possible. But I found a solution.<\/p>\n
