Thank you, Crazy Hitch! I believe I will need to put some hedonistic pleasures in place to assure reliable attendance, and that argues in favor of a full service gym as opposed to a fitness studio. I like swimming, like saunas and stream rooms. At a gym, I can proceed from a harder workout to easier swimming and from that to relaxing in a hot environment (if I am audacious enough, with contrasting temps such as from a sauna to a cold shower and back to sauna). I would enjoy that and such a relaxing ending to an exercise session would be something to look forward to. In a fitness studio, you just come for a group class and then leave.

But I will try Orangetheory Fitness on Sunday. I will let you know how it goes.
