Should I change to a new gym? My Actifit Report Card: April 22 2026

Another day and this time a little shy of 15K steps. That's not too bad in my books.

Of course it started with walking the dog on a day that was just thinking about raining. It was close enough to rain that I could feel water but far enough that perhaps it was mist. Either way it wasn't too hot, not too cold, but I didn't want to linger in it just in case things started really coming down.

Kind of gray and not really awesome.

Now the afternoon I walked the dog along with my wife. Hmm... I'm sure there is a misplaced modifier in there somewhere. I walked my and walked with my wife. But it was a short walk because my wife was tired and it was threatening rain again.

So where did I get all my steps? Well 30 minutes on the elliptical at the gym certainly helped.

But also I walked to a gym that will be opening in a weeks time that is very close to my house. I got a message that they would be around from 11-5 today so I dropped in.

The door was open but...

It wasn't exactly an inviting hallway to walk down. I called "hello" a couple of times but when I heard no response I didn't enter. I did try to call... But no answer. I tried to text....but no answer.

Result: I walked back home. When I was sitting down to remove my shoes I get a call. It was the gym. They were there but had a note to enter rather than listen for people.

Yes, there was a sign in the hallway but... It didn't seem active enough to make me want to venture in when it was obviously not quite ready yet.

With the lights on it was much more inviting and I went on in and met the owner and some of the staff. I sat down and looked at their price list...

It is twice the price of the gym that I am currently at. However, it gives a key fob which allows me to use any of their Anytime Fitness in the world at any time. As I like to travel that is actually pretty important.

I'm still thinking about whether it is worthwhile or not as it is a bit expensive. I looked around the gym but its not quite ready yet and very dark.

So, I work tomorrow and I'll come up with a decision for the day after that :)

Could be nice to workout anytime.

Or I could end up wasting money if I never actually go as happens with so many gym memberships.

Time will tell :)
