Gym Membership Deal: LAGOS!


When you’re eager to try a new restaurant, you might ask your friends for recommendations, read a good review, or check out the menu before you spend your money and time there. If you enjoy your first meal, you’ll return again and again, but if your experience is less than great, that first visit will also be your last.

I liken that experience to joining a gym. As a fitness enthusiast, I have had a fair share of gym memberships and classes and I really like trying new things and looking for the latest in town. I am an addict and I am not ashamed.

Since I like discovering things, I have decided to also use this blog to share experiences, recommendations, deals and offers I come across that are fitness related in Lagos.

To kick this off, one of the gyms I belong to, Club Shrinkers which is amazing by the way, has a great deal going on for 5 days.

Highlights

Two options available (customers can purchase more than one option):
N7990 (N35000 original value) – valid for one month gym membership and one year registration
N14990 (N70000 original value) – valid for two month gym membership and one year registration

Full gym class with state of the art equipment which include:
Gym machines
Treadmill
Dumbbells
Stair climber
Gym provides workout equipment and training session
Burn out fat
Build muscles and enhance body shape
Experienced gym instructors

Head over to dealdey and get this deal. It really is a great one considering an average gym membership on the Island in Lagos is about N30k per month excluding registration.

.....Introduction.....

SAMSOONA

My family had this running joke when I was little, if it were windy outside they’d say “Uh oh let’s get Samsoona inside before we lose her forever” or if someone was looking for me they’d say “Maybe the wind took her away”. I was a stick then I went through puberty and everything changed. I’ve always been curvy after puberty and I love it, I wouldn’t trade my curves for anything but I’ve come to the point where I’m uncomfortable with my weight and seriously want to do something about it. People think if you can still shop at “normal” shops your weight is not a problem, that is far from the truth and honestly my body is great at camouflaging the excess weight because of certain abundant body parts. Just because people aren’t running around calling you a fat, pregnant hippopotamus does not mean you’re healthy, and at the end of the day health is one of the most important things to stay on top of. There’s so much in life that we do not have any control over, a lot things have happened to me in the past year that I was unable to act against , so now everything that I do have power over that I’m not happy with I will change. This journey is not to impress anyone, or to fit into some kind of warped image of beauty, this journey is my first of many to embrace the person I am, be comfortable in my skin and work towards the person I want to be. This is my journey to lose weight, become fit and tone while still remaining curvy, I hope this stirs someone out there to start their own journey, whatever it maybe.

AQUA

Like most people, at the beginning of the year, my New Year's Resolution was to get fit and healthy. As with most things, I started out strong and as time went on, my enthusiasm began to wane. I didn't stop completely, but i was no longer committed. Then I recharged again at the beginning of the summer and was doing pretty well until about two weeks ago. So now it's time to recharge again. They say it's doesn't matter how many times you fall down, what matters is that you get up and climb again. This time it's a little different, I've decided to get up and climb again in front everyone. I am hoping this will keep me accountable because I know there are people out there watching me and hopefully supporting my journey. I will post entries about my workouts, nutrition, setbacks, tips, videos, pictures, and everything in between. So the journey begins, and with the support these two lovely ladies and everyone else, I hope to reach my destination. Please feel free to drop comments and tips.

REBIRTH

From the Atkins, to the Lemon, to the Beach body, to the low-calorie, you name it! Been there, done that, lost the few pounds which i gained back as soon as i stopped. I am not knocking off crash diets, but I have realized that they are temporary fixes and if I truly want to be happy and content with my body, I need to maintain a healthy lifestyle of good eating habits and exercises. It’s time to finally get to my desired goal and to do this, I need to be accountable. My goal is to be a UK size 10-12 with my curves in the right places (i don't wanna lose my D girls)so join me as I embark on this journey to my fitness rebirth with two of my friends.

We will be sharing our programs, stories, recipes, exercises, lifestyle changes, habits, and all that works for us on this journey. It won't be easy but we know it will be worth it.

Feel free to drop any advice or comments. We want you to be a part also.

Welcome, to our Fitness Rebirth.
