Is the YMCA a good place to go to to loose weight?

Question

well i want to loose like 70 pounds.

so i was wondering if i should sign up for the YMCA.

how old do you have to be to go in the workout rooms?

like the ones with the running machines.and what other machines

are in those rooms? if you could show me some pictures of the workout machines in the YMCA it would help.

Answer 1

first off it isn't free..there is a $100 sign up fee and on top of that u get charged $45 a month so when u sign up its automatically $145 on the spot.

i believe u have to be 13 to use the fitness center by urself. they have classes if u are younger to safely use the equipment. u go on a tour and they show u how to properly use every machine before they let u go off on ur own.

u cant tone without muscle. muscle doesn't make u look bigger fat is what makes u look bigger. the only thing that changes is the numbers on the scale may not change because muscle weighs more than fat. if u want to shed fat u need to do alot of cardio (elliptical, stairmaster, treadmill etc) and to tone u have to use weights and do more reps at a lower weight to tone.

when u go to the ymca they will have u sit down with a trainer if u choose to join Fittlinx (exercise program there) and they will choose a cardio and weight circuit thats best for u
