For fear of being completely obvious,[url=http://www.holisteroutlet.cc]hollister france[/url], you should know that we have been members at Columbia Athletic Club (CAC) for over ten years, so this is the easiest one for me to talk about. club has a lot to offer a wide variety of people, but my favorite thing is that it has a neighborhood feel where people take the time to know you by name. look at those warm smiley faces on Mark Peterson/General Manager, David Hamilton/Operations, and Alicia and Jeannie at the front desk (photo above). is a true where you can expect a fresh folded towel when you walk in and will be able to shower in the lockerrooms without fear. They just underwent a remodel last year so much of the facility has been recently renovated and the equipment is new. love this gym because it is the kind of place where you can bring your whole family and there is something for everyone. me run you through a typical Sunday morning for the Rabuchin family: We drop the kids in Kids Club while I hit the weights/cardio and Steve runs squash drills with Bali, the squash pro, on one of their three courts (there is also one racquetball court). When we done, we grab the kids and run them around the basketball court or bring them down for a swim in the salt water pool. we can all hit the hot tub, shower up and sit in the lounge sipping our free coffees and hot chocolates. no place else in Kirkland that has so many offerings under one roof. Bonus: parking is easy and you never have to wait for equipment. are plenty of programs to keep you busy. For the kids they have the Kids Club, camps, swimming lessons, birthday parties, parents nights out, swim/gym (free for members!). you have never tried this workout, you should give it a go! The machines (photo below) have a rolling glide board and a unilateralbilateral pulley system that can deliver high intensity sequences that target specific muscle groups. does the 6am class with Brandi every Weds morning and every Weds night he whining about what a tough workout he endured. Waaaaahhh! If your postworkout soreness needs to be addressed, they have massage therapists that can get you fixed up toomaybe after your steam/sauna? There cardio upstairs (ellipse, cybex, bikes) and downstairs (treadmills, stairclimbers). You find experienced trainers that love what they do and care about your goals and helping you achieve them. have even been there longer than I have. SecretI love eavesdropping on training sessions to pick up new ideas. had to run on a treadmill for about 1015 minutes with a mask on my face that was measuring my breath (must be stinky at that wee hour of the morning) and oxygen levels. bit claustrophobic but made it through. We also did some resting/fasting measurements on a different day. out my VO2 max, which is the of your metabolic engine and largely genetically predetermined, is considered above average (47) so thank you mom and dad! The really interesting thing about this testing is that you can determine your RMR, or resting metabolic rate. (ie the of calories your body is using to simply run itself and just be you. Mine is 1759.) and use that to figure out how many calories you should be consuming in a day to maintain (2639 for me). course, this also gives you what you need to figure out how many calories and how much exercise you require to reach specific goals. example, if I wanted to lose 15 pounds, I would need to cut 500 calories somewhere either reducing my intake or increasing my exercise or a combination of both. recommended using this free online calorie counter. Be sure to pay attention that you are documenting your portion sizes correctly ie, calories on the box may be for 1/2 cup of cereal. who really only eats 1/2 c of cereal? And btw, NEVER make dietary cuts that makes your daily caloric intake below your RMR. your body thinks you starving and that will really mess with the resources that your body is burning. you been thinking about trying it out or know a friend who is, here your perfect opportunity. Memberships start at $94/mo and $400 for initiation for an individual. now initiation is half off thru the month of June (new promos start in July). The great thing for us is that CAC is so close. something is convenient literally pass it 46 times a day) it makes it that much easier to commit to being there. can usually find me in the free weight room pulling on my waterski rope or doing some crazy balance exercises. sure to say hello. See you there? |
