Workout area

Hey,

Just a quick question to anyone who is at the Commons presently. How is the workout room? I plan on getting in some shape before I start getting naked, so is the workout area sufficient, or is there a gym close by?I'm gonna need to keep in shape, because I love those turkey legs they have around the parks, I'll be eating a ton of those!

haha yeah, that is a good question, I don't really like to work out haha but I might go if it's free or close by.......

 

Chase from what I have heard from other people the workout room is pretty useless but I think you can pay about $20 a month to use health club facilities at some of the resort hotels which is what I plan to do

 

yeah the gyms full of death machines. i went once....never again!

 

And (stupid question, I suppose), what are the resort gyms like?

couple of years ago when i was on vacation i got a change to see the gym at the swan hotel and it was really nice. and i am sure its still like that only the best for the guest LOL. hopefully i find a work out buddy in the commons since mine here didnt wanna apply :'(

 

Ooh! I want a workout buddy! Someone who'll make me go to the gym (cos otherwise I just wont go!)

Once mid-december comes, we should start a "choose your workout buddy" thread!


KC

 

Yeah, I agree Chase. I'm going to need some serious work in the gym before I hit the beach! The workout buddy idea is a good thing, cause I need motivation and someone to make me go!

Same here! Thats an awesome idea. I also attempt to lift to much sometimes, so a workout buddy can keep me in check ! How far away is the closest resort? A short jog, maybe...

 

well my work out body makes the cardio way more fun. when we at the gym and are 60 min on the bike or crosstrainer its just better to chat here and there...weight does everyone by herself cause we are working in two different plans.

 

Perhaps we could do it in such a way that people who want mainly cardio can go with mainly cardio, people with mainly muscle building can go with muscle building, people with both go with both and then try to match the various different ability levels (ie. extreme workout peeps go together, those who havent really worked out together before go together etc.)

Once december comes (and some of my projects get submitted-therefore more time), and if everyone wants, I'll set up a database and get it online where people can go and enter their stats (preference for cardio, muscle, ability/fitness level) and find a match?

Gotta use this business information systems degree for something!

can i join in on you little group there. i normally go to the gym about 4 times a week but i have got really slack since i left uni. i want to get toned and tannned so when i get home i will be a different person!!!!

 

Yup, the gym at the Commons is right crap. Honestly, I used to be such a gym rat and I HATE the gym here.

The easiest resort to get to would probably be the Beach Club. Take the bus to Epcot, then walk through the International Gateway. Not sure if it has a gym though...

If you like running you could go to some of the resorts. They have nice walkways and nice sights to keep you distracted. I went to the Carribean with my rollerblades on Hallowe'en and ended up scoring free pumpkin pie, a caramel apple, and cookies. Sometimes it pays to be a resort bum

Thats exactly what I want to do, too. I am in fairly good shape right now, but I have a beer gut, from an excellent 3 months in college, so I want to get my 8 pack back, and then I'll worry about picking on my tan . I don't really care if its beside the pool, as long as I have somewhere to do situps, or crunches or something, and someone to motivate me, I'm good to go.

 

Hey guys if you need anyone to motivate you feel free to give me a shout - I have great willpower too!

 

i never worked out in my live before ...well only a couple of times but....hey...why dont ya'll make up soem program for me...that be fun

 

chase and izzy i will hold you to that!!! workout buddies and get each other motivated and then we can look the best tanning ourselves around the pool sipping our ice cold bud light's. lol!!!

 

Okay, two things to say...

1 - My drink of choice is Blue or Canadian, and none of the light stuff, its too weak.

2 - I douibt I'll be drinking around the pool, cuz I'm underage

 

Yeah I agree with Chase on number 1, Bud light?? Its far to weak I'll have good old stella thanks lol.
Well either stella or vodka

how did we get from being really healthy and working out to alchohol. i must say i am a bit if a cider drinker but also i like the odd malibu and coke!!!! chase will you turn 21 while you are out there?
