ya im sort of wanting to get going to the gym too but hate doing it alone, its no fun.
There needs to be a group for each part of the BCfurs for each city to work out together and get a routine going. At the end of each month there could be like a little competitions between the cities. It will be call U.B.C.F.M.C (Ultimate British Columbia Fur Muscle Competition)^^...or not :P
But ya im looking for a group to go to the gym with and get me off my lazy butt ^^

I work out regularly at a local gym thats only 2 blocks away from home, just one of the reasons why I like this neighborhood as everything I need is fairly close.  One time when Davecko was around last spring I took him over to the gym where I work out, he did fairly well for a skinny fox!  (although the drop in fee is 10 bucks per time.)

I have a fitness world card, assuming you have an account with them.   Once my hand heals up I could use some one to pace against.  Do you run as well?

Alas, I'm on the other side of Vancouver. I went to the gym for a few months, but it's so damn boring by yourself.

Me thinks we have a potential here!  I have a community center punchcard thingy... so we can agree on one of those we have a better chance of helping each other out

Ludro, I dunno if it's the best option for you, but have you ever checked out the Britannia Community Centre?  It has a pretty cozy (not small, although not that big either) gym right above the pool.  Kaji, Stephen, and I used to go there for a little bit, and I've been thinking about going there myself again.  I can't fully remember what prices were (it's free for me since I go to school there), but I don't think it was much.

Either way, it'd be good for me to go to the gym with some friends, even if it's not that one, so if it's fine with you I'd like to tag along.

o.o crazy.  I actually live in North Van, but that's where I'm going to school currently.  Was that the gym you'd go to?  I know it's not the best gym, but it's never really packed and you can still get pretty much everything you need.

P.S.  You should stalk me at the school sometime, I don't really hang out with anyone there and never really do anything after school.

I was going to the one on the corner of Cotton and 1st here for a while, but I've been by the Britannia one a few times.

I don't get home from work until around 6 on weekdays, but would be up for coffee or whatever one of these evenings if that works for you.

I have a fitness world card, assuming you have an account with them.   Once my hand heals up I could use some one to pace against.  Do you run as well?

If we could start out slow (as Draazy has a super weak lung capacity) perhaps you and I can start joggin and such. I really need to get back into shape. And we can start doing stanley park jogs?

Raikon, you up for meeting sometime, then? I'm not sure how late you tend to be around the Drive area in the afternoons/evenings.
: Re: Workout buddies!
: Raikon April 15, 2009, 09:26:30 -06:00
Sure sure, I'm just not sure when.  This week isn't the best time for me, but next week should be fine.  I can be out pretty late if I want to, I've just never had much to do so I' normally head home right after school.

*hisses at fitness world* I've heard such horror stories about them... but my lung capacity isn't that good either.. and I'd rather go swimming or long distance walking :)

Sure, just let me know. I'm busy on Monday and Wednesday but the others should be okay.
