Sadly, Is finding the right place |e is a workout in itself! • In addition, if you were to take a class that involves exercise, it may either be one hour, three times a week, or one to two hours, two times a week. A good thing about having the schedule is it can get you into a routine, which is difficult for most people and gets in the way of having the desire to work out. Guilty as charged over here. Cost is a huge factor in a deci sion for a gym. All large gyms charge monthly, with an initiation fee- due immediately. Of the four gyms I looked into, 24«-HR Fitness is the most cost efficient option in the area, charging $66.58 immediately, and $26.99 per month. For access to all ‘24’ locations, they charge $72.87 and then $29.99 per month. East Side Athletic Club comes next charging $59 immediately prefer to go month-to-month, it’s $200 for initiation and $41.50 under 21, $49.50 over 21. Nelson’s Nautilus comes in a close third charging $69 with a one-year agreement and $33 per month. For just starting month- to-month, $89 to start and $41 a month. Finally, Bally Total Fitness charges $118.98 to begin at one club and $29.99 after that. Their initiation cost rises by $10 for local and another $10 for national. Monthly rates rise $5 for local and national access as well. Keep in mind that these clubs also may have specials going on that can lower initiation fees or monthly, but that varies by club and time period. So the large gyms are pretty spendy if you’re on a tight budget. Once again, you have a college with a one-year agreement and then $39.50 for those under 21 and $47 for those over 21. If you’re a commitment-phobe though, and After a summer full of fun and not much exercise, you want to start a workout routine that will keep you healthy. campus! For taking a class, it’s $77 a credit hour, which divides up to $36.66 a month for a one credit class. If you have financial aid, it could be covered! Plus, most of the day the workout room is open, and if you want to take a nice brisk run, you can head over to the track! The verdict? If you have some disposable income and patience, I suggest a large gym. They provide a lot of amenities, workout options and have convenient locations. Real good option for those who are the hardcore type, but it could be intimidating for beginners. If you’re looking for an easy, low pressure environment to stay fit for a low cost, CCC is where it’s at. You’re already here to expand your mind, why not kill two birds with one stone?

From left to right, Melissa Faye and Brittany Duty prepare for the upcoming basketball season in the CCC workout room on Oct. 20, 2009. Look Good game by game. I think sometimes we look .to the future too much and we just need to focus on the game at hand. Who is your biggest competi tion in the playoffs? Definitely Walla Walla. We played them during the season and lost to them by one, so they are definitely going to be our biggest challenge. Who has been the biggest challenge during the season in your region? I think Chemeketa, but we haven’t played them yet We have two hard games this week and we play them Friday. In season so far, Lane has been our toughest game in our conference. I think we have our hardest games to come still, though. How is this team different from other teams you have been on? I think that this team has more of the same common goal. Other teams have been more scattered for more personal goal. This team plays more as one. Ink 0% OFF ENROLLMENT FOR YOU FREE ENROLLMENT FOR YOU & A FRIEND Offer expires November 30, 2009 ush vtA*.
