Lol, I have formed a committee (in my head) to evaluate my options. I expect said committee to release a report sometime in late 2022.

I eventually upgraded to the unlimited package because I found that once I got into the routine I really liked it. Much like Pilot4000 I haven’t really lost a lot of weight (again, my new resolution is my diet this year which needs to get much better) but I am easily in way better condition than when I started. It’s easy to use the app to keep track of your statistics as long as you wear the heart rate monitor during the workouts.

As far as cost, when I decided to take the plunge it’s about $80 for the heart monitor (one time purchase) and for the unlimited plan it will be about $179 or so month. That depends on your studio's level though. I got in on the unlimited deal before my studio raised prices when their level went up so I got grandfathered under the lower rate. But I can also go visit any other studio nationwide for free (depending on various factors it can be $10 a visit to another studio). So not cheap but I’ve spent more on dumber ****. For me it’s a good solid 1 hour workout where I don’t have to decide what to do. I just follow orders, work out as hard as I feel I can on that day, and try not to get caught checking out the MILFS 😆

Thanks for the great info. I, too, have spent way more money on way dumber stuff than a gym membership. I do like the idea of what you described; just go in and workout without putting much thought into it.

if you wait until we have a new contract to pay for the gym fees, that should give you plenty of time to find a good gym.
I can’t decide on what kind of emoji to put with the above statement.

3) Only use 1/2 the salad dressing
4) Only eat 1/3 of the breakfast yogurt
5) Use the steak sauce sparingly
6) Don't add salt

I am a sucker for those pretzel rolls, but great advice. I usually avoid bread, potatoes, desserts, and stick to the protein, veggies, salad.

One crew meal will literally have me set for most of the day too….

WhisperJet had good advice with their 6 recommendations. My only change to that would be you can eat the entire yogurt.

Preserved meals will always be high in sodium. I personally don’t eat the crew meals, and it’s been great for my diet. When my Delta friends say they are envious of our crew meals, my answer is always “you can have mine.”
