Question #1: Las Vegas, Downtown, Gym - FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE!?
First, do not answer with, "Check the website
of the hotels in the area" or "I think
there might be a chain gym somewhere near
downtown." I am looking for someone who can
give me an ANSWER BASED ON FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE!
Vacationing in Vegas later this month. Staying
downtown, but our hotel has no gym. Is there a
good gym in or very near downtown, that offers a
workout at decent day rate? Note: Want a real gym
- with full weights, nautilus or similar machines,
some aerobic.
Answer: I had the same dilema on my last Las Vegas trip.
I think the Golden Nugget is the only downtown
hotel that has a gym, and of course, it's only for
registered guests. I did find that Gold's Gym has
a one day pass for $15, or one week for $35. Just
walk in and pay your money. The nearest one to
downtown is at 3750 E. Flamingo. It's not too
far, but far enough off the beaten path that
you'll need a car or taxi. From downtown, take
the 95 to the 515 south, get off at Flamingo and
go west to Sandhill, it will be in the shopping
center on the right, past Sandhill. You can also
take Fremont Street until it turns into Boulder
Highway, turn right on Flamingo. That way, you
can hit up the casinos on Boulder Highway on the
way. Just make it the way back, or you'll never
make it to the gym. :-)

Question #2: Las Vegas, Downtown, Real Gym?
Vacationing in Vegas later this month. Staying
downtown, but our hotel has no gym. Is there a
good gym in or very near downtown, that offers a
workout at decent day rate? Note: Want a real gym
- with full weights, nautilus type machines.The
reason to ask here is to hear from someone WHO
KNOWS FROM FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE.
Answer: No I don't know of one but I have been to the
Gold's Gym,which has decent weights. We even got
to see a few Olympia competitorswell first hand
experience, since I go every year, would tell me
NO! there are no good gyms downtown. You will
have to go off the strip to find a decent gym.
Take the next guys list and go to one of them!!!!

Question #3: Which is better Yoga or Tai Chi or Step Aerobics?
Which is better Yoga or Tai Chi or Step Aerobics
for strength and muscle developement or just to
keep you in really good shape in other words. I
have tried Tai Chi before but never Yoga or Step
Aerobics. I do mostly cardio work outs at the gym
and Nautilus but I would like to learn a technique
like Tai Chi or Yoga or Step Aerobics that will
also keep me in good shape and condition.
Answer: You will receive totally different benefits from
each one. Both the Tai Chi and yoga will also help
you control your stress levels which in turn can
help you keep belly fat away.Step will burn the
most calories but the control that you learn with
Tai Chi will help with strength.If you are already
using the nautilus and cardio you won't really
need the step aerobics, so your choice is between
Tai Chi and yoga. With your current program it
sounds like Tai Chi would be the best but it
really depends on what YOU think you would like to
learn. I know many people who have tried Tai Chi
and it was just too slow for them. But if you want
more mind focus Tai Chi would be your choice.

Question #6: Anyone recommend the best gym in scottsdale/tempe area?
We are moving there next week, and are looking for
the best gym to join. We are not Lifetime Fitness
people, it is too expensive, and has things we
don't use or need (hot tubs, pools, saunas, etc.
Just great weight equipment and lots of cardio
machines needed. Any suggestions for a reasonable
membership cost for a couple? We would probably
buy a membership for a 6 month or year in advance.
Thanks!P.S. We really like Hammer Strength,
Nautilus, Body Master, and Flex equipment.
Answer: Try Golds Gym.

Question #7: To Westchester County,NY residents who work out: which gym would you recommend joining? Price is?
definitely a deciding factor in helping determine
which one I'd end up signing up with, due to
finances (if only I was rich..). I'm ruling out
NYSC because a buddy of mine who's a member, told
me that he pays about $80 a month. I'd appreciate
your input - the minimal I require from a
prospective gym are free weights, treadmills and
Nautilus like machines. A plus would be that the
gym is public transportation accesible.
Answer: ALL gyms have what you're looking for, go for the
cheapest one and/or the one closest to your place.
Remember that gas and time are money :)

Question #8: working out and dieting like crazy and not losing any weight?
I have belonged to a gym for about 3 weeks now and
I am only gaining weight (and not muscle...because
pants that used to fit me are now too tight) I
have been dieting...about 1000 calories/ dayI am
5'3" about 140 and i do 33 minutes on the
elliptical a day, followed by 20 minutes on the
stationary bike and then i do nautilus weights for
about 30 minutes....somehow, i am only getting
bigger!I am on Kariva birth control, Effexor and
Xanaxis there any reason why i am putting in all
of this effort and getting results in the opposite
direction??I'm beginning to get extremely upset
and frustrated
Answer: You're not eating enough. Take in about 1,700
calories with a 50-30-20 Protein-Carb-Fat ratio.
Once your body adjusts (and you may gain for a
short time while it adjusts) you'll start dropping
weight again. Right now you're starving your
body, even if you don't feel hungry. I hope this
helps.

Question #9: I need help losing weight!!!?
I have been going to the gym for the past month 5
days a week for about 80 minutes each time (30
min. on the cross trainer, 15 min. on the
treadmill at full incline, 15 min. on the bike
& 20 min. lifting using various nautilus
machines) I thought this would eventually work but
I haven't really been showing much progress since
I first started working out. I eat everything I am
supposed to with a restricted 1200 calorie/day
diet and I'm just trying to figure out the problem
because I have been consistent for so long but
have only lost about 2 or 3 pounds. If anybody
could help me figure out what my problem is that
would be great! Thanks.
Answer: There is absolutely no problem with what is
"taking so long". You aren't taking so
long at all! You have lost 2-3 pounds in 5 days.
Most people have to lose 1-2 pounds by a full week
(7 days). You should be fortunate you are losing
this much weight so fastly! Good for you! And keep
up the good work. Hope I helped. =)

Question #10: Is my 11 year old too young to start lifting light weights with Nautilus?
At school we talked to a gym teacher at open house
and he said that 11 is too young to start. He has
a gym class that taught them weight lifting,
including free weights. I took him to the YMCA
and they show him how to use a few of the Nautilus
machines, ones that he was tall enough to use, and
he also learned the cardio equipment. Is he too
young to lift? Are sets of 12 at a very low weight
ok for him to start doing at this age?
Answer: 11 is a little young to be serious about weight
training but if he does it on occasion there will
be no problems as long as his form is correct.
the only bad exercise is the one that is performed
incorrectly. that being the case a child that is
athletic and highly coordinated shouldn't have any
problems with some Nautilus training. at 11 his
body isn't producing much test so training heavy
for the young is physiologically impossible for
mostI joined my first gym at 13 and so did most of
my buddies
