Joined a Gym! But now I'm regretting it...

I joined Lucille Roberts last weekend, and when I went to work out for the first time, I found out that you have to sign up to use the treadmills. Nobody told me that when I joined. So I could get to the gym and then have to wait for half an hour to use a treadmill. And that's really what I want to use. I hate the bikes, and I'm not too familiar with the other machines.

I signed up for the month to month membership, so I'm thinking of cancelling it and joining a different gym with more equipment. Does anyone have any suggestions for the Huntington/East Northport area?

Thanks!!

NYSC is pretty good. They have everything you need. And you pay monthly.

NYSC get's the same way when it's busy though....I know that the one I go to on 41st & 3rd, when it's busy you have to sign up for the treadmill....

It sounds like you would benefit more from getting familiar with other equiptment at the gym rather than switching gyms just b/c the treadmills are busy....

I used to be the same way, and now that I know what to do on all the other equiptment, I never think twice if there are no treadmills available....

Be patient. Jan-March is the busiest time almost everywhere. After that the new year's resolutions go in the garbage and everything is back to normal...

I just joined Eastern Athletic Club on Jericho Tpke In Dix Hills (next to Panama Hattie's-not too far from E' Npt). They also have a month- month membership, AND you can also go to their gyms in Melville & Blue Point. I'm NOT a gym person & I have to say I feel pretty comfortable there, everyone is really nice & so far I've gotten on the treadmills right away- no wait! Maybe give it a try

I go to gold's in East Northport, you have to sign up for the treadmills and cross-trainers, but I hardly ever have to wait. If no one claims the treadmill within 5 minutes you can hop on it!

I was with Lucille Roberts for a year, I didn't like the big opened room.
