Gymboree!

Who would have thunk it? I really miss Results the Gym! During my last fews months in DC, I was frequenting the one on the Hillmore often (it was close to the office and, because it was dead, you could get a good workout in during 'primetime').

Both locations have this big open warehouse-y quality - large windows, hign ceilings and big yellow pillars abound. The Dupont location is predominantly gay (no matter what anyone tells you) and the 'boyz' throw a tad too much attitude, chit chatting about the place as if they haven't seen each other in weeks. During primetime it's nigh on impossible to do cardio if you're not signed up by 5:00pm, and a thorough workout can take a couple of hours waiting for weights and machines. That said... there's a fantastic energy to the place, you know all the faces (if not the names) and they have compete towel service!

Now, the two LA gyms I've got free passes to this week, and while neither provide towels, both are cheaper than back east...

Gym 1: Is slightly more expensive; takes 9 minutes to get there BY CAR (but has free parking); is packed even at 11:30am; is full of Hollywood wannabes and HUGE muscle boys (making the Results boyz look like pipsqueaks); and features a spinning class by Adam from The Amazing Race 6 (he's no longer with Rebecca - SURPRISE!) .

Gym 2: Is the cheaper of the two; is only 5 minutes away by foot; looks like a tired 80's office suite; is full of old trolls hanging out in the saunas and hot tubs; has rubber weights and a very confusing layout.

So, folks in Blog land... which one do I pick?
