I utilize our local Y for workouts, the price is right especially with the AARP and Medicare discounts. I like it, it's convenient and mostly friendly. Most of my regiem is on the treadmill and Nustep elliptical machines. Lately the Nusteps have been taken over by women of a certain age whose exercise barely registers on the machine. They'll sit there and gab for up to 45 minutes at a time while others have to make do with other machines. Frustrating because there is really nothing you can do without making yourself look like a jerk.
