I just joined a gym today. The closest one is about 10 minutes away. The one that has the classes (yoga, pilates, spinning, zumba, etc) is about 15 miles away. I quit going to the YMCA 25 years ago because I thought it was silly to drive 5 miles into town to exercise. My walking buddy wanted me to join a gym with her so I did. I hope I use it enough to make it worthwhile. I signed up for 3 months to see how I like it. They have private showers but they are small so you would have to leave your clothes out in the locker room. When I went to the Y it was a group shower with 6 shower heads. I hated that!
