My slippers are trying to kill me

Reasons I Love Bally Total Fitness
1. The "Does this machine work?" game
2. You don't feel self conscious around the out-of-shape trainers
3. Black men in sunglasses, Latino men in jeans and work boots, Italian men in gold
4. No need to hit the showers-just stand under one of the leaks in the ceiling
5. Short wait time for free weights- full range of motion? Bah!
6. Wide variety of choices for music-just stand next to someone singing along with an iPod
7. A grunt and a clang of metal will signal when a set is finished
8. Environmentally conscious- the same towel is used to clean sinks, mirrors, spills and equipment
9. Extra cardio walking around gym looking for matching set of dumbbells
10. Uninhibited overweight seniors in the locker room-you go girl!

Reasons to love outdoor running:

1. Open 24/7
2. Surprisingly diverse selection of drinks stocked in clubhouse -- almost like you picked them yourself.
3. Well-appointed showers.
4. Encounters with deer and foxes. Bugs Bunny-esque amusement at barking dogs stuck behind invisible fences.
5. Occasional MILF glimpses and subsequent reverie.
