Morning Discussion

by Chris Faylor, Mar 16, 2009 7:06am PDT

Monday, already? It seems like I barely got anything accomplished this weekend.

Really, I just played an hour or two Resident Evil 5, co-created and tested a Peggle drinking game, cleaned the apartment, watched some Wire, and read a few chapters of Snow Crash. The rest of the time, I was either sleeping or doing something here.

There were also about five minutes spend on a hammock. Hammock weather, at last!

On the plus side, um, I've got another chance at the weekend here in a couple days?

Gym membership costs.

What does everyone pay? Yearly? Monthly? On the door?

What benefits do you get? Clean towels? Free saunas? Personal trainers? Hand jobs?

I pay £70 a month (UK STERLING, this is probably an extortionate if directly compared to the US dollar) for a company called esporta to make me fit. They provide a personal trainer and clean towels, shampoo, body wash etc, and have TVs and shit in the weights room, plus martial arts/pilates/tai chi etc. It's pretty good, but tell me what you get for your price.
