Gym Recs? (XP with TK)
So we're moving to Brooklyn Park (kinda by the 252/610/694 split) in a few weeks. Any suggestions on gyms in that area? I see the *** Rapids YMCA isn't far away, but I haven't gone to a Y since high school.
We currently belong to Snap, but I really miss having group classes to attend.
On a related note- anyone looking for a workout buddy in the NW 'burbs? 
Re: Gym Recs? (XP with TK)
DH and I use the Y in Elk River. I think the one in C Rapids is bigger but a few years older. I like the Y over Snap/Anytime/24Hour because of the classes and the pool. I like that I can bring my nieces & nephews with me to any Y when I have them.

Hi there. There is a lot of lifetimes around the area. but there is a la fitness over by 610 and zane. and there is one also in northtown in **** rapids. I personally go to lifetime. I live off 169 and 81. so i go to maple grove, **** rapids, plymouth, champlin all over based on classes.
I go to the C00n Rapids YMCA 4 or 5 days a week. I love the facility, its clean and fairly new. I really like the classes and the people that go there are pretty laid back. I've never had to wait for cardio equipment.
I used to go to Lifetime in Woodbury and just wasn't happy with it. I'm much more at home at the Y.
Thanks everyone! I think I might check out the Y. I've never been to a Gold's; I had no idea they had classes!
Also... we can't type c0on? wtf?

Yep, apparently I live in a racial slur....
I think the Y is still doing a 5 day free trial pass if you go to their website. I wanted to check it out a little bit before I made a commitment. Yep, just checked, they still have the free trial...

A lot of health insurance plans will give you $20 off your membership if you go a certain number of times a month. Brings my membership down a little bit.
