Switched to a new Gym
Membership was coming due at the Natatorium and given I was taking 5 classes a week it was costing me $100/month just to go to the Natatorium! I've switched over to Express Fitness in Allen and Plano and am now jumping between the two locations taking different Pilates, PiYo, Yoga, and Kick/Flex classes each day of the week. I'm bummed there are no cycling classes at this gym but you can find me active on the Plano Bicycling Association Distance Builders ride each Saturday morning keeping that activity going.
