I'm going to be passing through Amman several times over the next few months and would like to know how much the gyms there cost on a day-use basis? Looking for a gym with good weight training equipment more than cardio. I've found several references to gyms online (VY, Orthodox, Power Hut, Venus, Fitness One, World Gym), but no day rates are listed.

I am 20, male and I'm very skinny and tall (6'2). I was thinking of going to the gym in the fall because I get free access to my University's fitness center, mostly because I live a very sedentary lifestyle and don't get any excercise. The only problem is, I'm a very shy and self-conscious about my appearance. I always think people are staring at me. I just don't have the courage to go. I keep on thinking about how stupid I'll look lifting weights because I don't know how to use any of the equipment properly and I'll probably look like a huge tool. I just don't feel comfortable having all those people looking at me. I'll probably have a panic attack and it will prevent me from going.

I just joined a gym 3 wks. ago; nobody is there to "watch over" us- we have a card to get in the door. It's been yrs. since I've used this equipment & much has changed. Some of the stuff I don't really understand how to use and what it's good for. Is there a website/something on youtube that will show me how to use certain equipment AND what muscles, etc. they are good for? (not including treadmill, elliptical, bench press). Thank you!

im 16, 230 lbs and i have alot of muscle, its just covered by a layer of flab. my goal is to just get in better shape through building more muscle and burning fat. im already eating better, but i need a work out plan that i can do at home. i have a 100 lb punching bag that im already doing the 30-30-30 workout on, 2 times in a row 2-3 times a day. but i need to mix it up because my hands are already becoming sore. so if theres other good muscle building or fat burning excersizes i can do outside a gym, please share. and be as specific as possable. thanks!!!

First of all I am aware that by February is a very short time for a body transformation but what I at least want by that time is a noticeable positive change on my body. I'm a 20 year old guy, I weigh 128lbs (58.0598234 kg) with a height of 5 feet 9 inches (185cm) I have a skinny and scrawny upper body: skinny arms, not so wide shoulders, narrow back and a lean torso but with no toned muscles, my body is similar to this guys body http://musclebuildingprograms.org/wp-ima… I want to achieve a more athletic, lean muscle, v-shape body. I really don't know how to do it at home cause; I cant afford a gym membership, my school doesn't provide that type of equipment, and at home I only have 3, 5, 10, 15 and 25 dumbbells and a leaning bench like this one http://www.slimgym-fitness-equipment.co.… I need a workout plan with the equipment I have at home. Facts about my physical health that can help Diet (Not gonna change it): Lactose-Vegetarian (No meat, no fish and no eggs related food and products) Physical Exercise: I jog 3 times a week % of Body Fat: 9.1% Muscle Mass: 110.4 lbs (50.0765976 kg)

I run 6 miles every other day and do plenty of stretches after, so my legs get plenty of exercise. On the days I don't run, I rest my legs and do ab and upper body work. Leg raises, among many other exercises, are great for the abs, but they also exercise the quadriceps and other leg muscles. I don't have access to a gym or a whole lot of gym equipment except for a large fitness ball and two 25 lb medicine balls(basketballs filled with sand), but how can I put most of the emphasis on my abs and back instead of my leg muscles while doing leg raises? I feel like I am over-exercising my legs, when on days off from running I only want to exercise my abs or chest/arms/shoulders. Or any exercises you can recommend that are similar to leg raises that use a fitness ball(or without the fitness ball) that emphasize the abs more than leg muscles?

I am 30, and I just had a baby two months ago. I am 5' 2" and 127 lbs. I'd like to lose 8-10 lbs and tone up. Obviously my problem area is my belly. I have a gym membership at fitness 19, they just have equipment no classes. I have my two kids with me when I go so I need to be done in less than an hour, 45-50 minutes would be ideal. Could someone recommend a good workout? Cardio - how long and which machine? Weights - which ones and how do I rotate them. Thanks!
08/06/2010 01:27 AM
My weight goes up and down. I’m at my biggest I have ever been before I’m 245. When I tell people how much I weigh they never believe me, they always guess about 190-200. I want to be smaller. I need to be smaller. If I can loose at least 20lbs by Dec, I will know its working for me. Can someone give me suggestions on daily gym routines I can do. I’m a member at La Fitness, so if you are familiar with the gym you know what kind of equipment I have to work with. Also I have been cooking more then eating out. I know that helps but food suggestions would be great as well.
07/28/2010 03:13 PM
Alright i'm a guy, 16 this year and i'm about 63kg (about 139lbs) and I would like some help in getting my stamina way up. I run 2.4km (about 1.5 miles) in around 12:50 and I would really like to be able to run it in 10minutes for my upcoming National Physical Fitness Assessment. Any daily routines of how I train would be greatly appreciated! And by the way, I don't have any Gym membership or equipment so only exercises that requires no equipment please! Thanks!
07/28/2010 01:20 PM
I'm looking to purchase some fitness equipment. Its between the Total Gym or the Ab Circle (something a little cheaper) and going "all out" and getting an elliptical. Any suggestions on any type of equipment, or personal reviews on the said equipment?
07/23/2010 01:14 AM
I am out of shape and I need a daily exercise routine desperately. I am unemployed right now and I cannot afford to buy equipment. Is there a job that I can apply for where I can be around exercise equipment or a gym. I am not a certified trainer and physical therapist, but do you what else I could apply for so that I can be around the gym or equipmenta?
07/20/2010 09:10 PM
I'm looking for a how-to guide for working out. I try to lift dumbbells, I tried P90X, nothing really works too well. I think perhaps I'm not lifting to my max potential? I don't know what's wrong, but I just can't seem to get myself into good shape. I go to school and can use a full gym with all the equipment, but I don't even know how to use those machines. Where do I start? I'm REALLY getting frustrated.
07/16/2010 05:18 PM
I'll be away from the city for a couple of weeks and there's really not a good gym around here so I want to know where I could find a good workout routine since I'm just beginning to workout and I've seen some good improvement, I don't want to stop the progress or anything so mainly I want some excercises designed for the arms, chest and abs, since my legs are very much more developed due to childhood activities and sports. The less space needed the better since the place I'm staying doesn't have much room either, any help is gladly appreciated.
07/13/2010 04:41 PM
I'm a long distance runner, so I spend most of my workout time outside. In fact, I probably haven't been to an actual gym in about 4-5 months. I had a gym membership before, and used it like crazy, until I fell in love with running. A typical run for me is anywhere from 1 hour to 2.5 hours long (more if I'm training). There is a gym at my complex, but it doesn't really have a whole lot of equipment and it's a little uncomfortable to go there and be the only female in a rather small workout space. My boyfriend and I moved, so the gym we used to go to isn't anywhere near where we live now. He just joined LA Fitness because it's close to his work and our home. I know there's a Gold's Gym that's closer to where we live, but I don't really know the difference in price. Does anyone go to these gyms? If so, tell me what you like and dislike about them. Thanks!
07/11/2010 11:39 PM
hi guys, i joined the gym since its summer.. im not very happy with my body, i need to lose some fat around my thighs and abdominal area. I have two months to workout and i want to see results fast, so which cardio machine or equipment should i use for trimming my thighs? PS: ive already started eating healthy!
07/03/2010 02:28 AM
..there is nothing for my 8 y/o to do there. He is not allowed to use any of the workout equipment. And the pool is closed for most of the day. The basketball courts are in use by the "over 40" crowd. And in order for him to use the rock climbing wall, I have to be there to tether his rope. When you think about it, the worst thing about fitness clubs is that they're not real family friendly. He is out of daycare for the summer. And I dont have any immediate family or friends that can watch him. Any suggestions?
07/01/2010 07:56 PM
So I'm down the shore for a week or two and I want to still keep getting in good shape. I go to the gym back at my house but down here there is none. I don't even have any of my equipment. I just have my pair of running shoes, a whole shore town, the beach, and a local park. What kind of fitness stuff should I do. I'm basically trying to strengthen my core such as abs. I have low body fat percentage but I could always use some cardio. My abs show, just not amazingly. Help me out? Thank you!! I also wouldnt mind suggestions for upper body (biceps, chest, etc.) They also help.
06/28/2010 10:49 PM
Alright. I'm 19 years old, female, 5"4 and weigh in at 220lbs. My desired weight to get down to is 145lbs. My metabolism isn't so quick. I've been up in the air about what I should be eatting, what suppliments I should be taking, what exercise equipment I should be using at the gym. I'm not afraid of diet and exercise. I've done 14 miles at the gym for a consecutive two weeks before. I was wondering if someone could give me some advice here...maybe someone on a more professional level who is either a personal trainer or has quite a bit of experience in fitness. I take one-a-day complete vitamin adult gummies because I have a hard time swallowing pills and I've been looking into hydroxycut but for some reason, I don't think that hydroxycut is my answer either. I drink nother but tea and water, 2% milk occasionally. I know to stay away from anything white like white bread, pasta, mayo, all that good stuff. Along with losing the 80-75lbs or so, the key area's I would like to work on are my stomach, under arms, and inner thighs. I'm not really a breakfast person and usually not a dinner person either so I was wondering what a healthier alternative would be. I tried slimfast but for some reason, slimfast doesn't digest properly and was giving me stomach pains and was making my urine smells like capachino slimfast =\. I was wondering if maybe a whey protein would be okay? or some sort of protein shake, breakfast shake, whatnot. If I can help it, I would love to replace two meals a day with a liquid form of food seeing as how it's conveinent and healthy for you. I'd stick to this whole plan if I felt comfortable knowing that it was a plan that worked for me. Please Help! Thanks.
06/26/2010 02:29 PM
So I was at Bally Partial Fitness last night, and there were all these people just sitting on weight machines. Seriously, it was starting to look like a homeless shelter -- one guy was most likely asleep and sat there for almost an hour. If they just want to sit around, shouldn't they go to Starbucks or the library?
06/23/2010 07:17 PM
I'm sixteen, wear a size 10 jeans, and weigh 129 pounds. I know that doesn't sound like much- but I'm only 4'9". This time last year I was a size one jeans and around 100lbs. This sucks. I had to get on birth control for a little bit to get on that Accutane jank- for my face. I was all excited that my face was finally getting cleared up, and guess what?, as soon as it is, I'm like thirty pounds overweight. I hit a little depressive spell in the last week or two and lost around seven pounds, so I was about 136+ before. I'm not good at life changes but apparently I'm going to have to just get over that. I need a generator or something online to have some kind of idea what I need to do. The only part of my body I'm absolutely not happy with is, well, parts, is from my waist up. More just like my back, my tummy, and my face. I already have a naturally round face and 30lbs doesn't go well with that. Any suggestions? I thought about Mixed Martial Arts classes or something, but I'm really shy. I'm pretty sure I'd be mortified if I had to do something like that around a lot of black belts and act afool. I just want an embarrassment free way to do this. I've tried joining a local gym, but the guys who work the place are hateful and just stare the whole time I'm in there. I'm willing to do a lot, and last year for wellness we had to go to the football player's weight room and lift. I would do like 140+ sit ups on some of the equipment, but that was well over a year ago and so now I'm stuck not being able to make my stomach sore (which is the only way I know I'm doing anything) and a not-so-flat belly. I'm not that big-I just really want fix this problem before it gets to that point.

I am 220, and 5' 7''. I really want to begin losing weight before college starts in September. I will be having a 20 minute walk each way to college, there and back, when I begin going there. This is the exercise equipment my house contains: -A cycle bike, however, I have pains on my tail bone when I sit down for too long because I am so heavy. So I cannot go on it until I have lost a lot. -A treadmill -Weights -A weight gym in the garage. Sit ups, arm exercisers etc. -A sit up frame with monitor -The floor! -A boxing dummy with boxing equipment. -An exercise balloon ball Which of these is the most effective? Also, are there any which can be pleasant to do with the right mindset? If anyone could spend some extra time on making a workout for me that would be suitable to someone with my terrible fitness and weight, I would appreciate it! And no, I am too embarrassed to jog and walk outside, and I dont want to walk on the treadmill.

I am leaving in a few days to Senegal, Africa for a 3 week service learning project. I run cross country during school and the trip will leave little time for summer training. It is very important to me though that I keep my fitness and even drop a couple of pounds while I'm there. I will probably not be able to get in more than one or two 3 mile runs while I'm there so I need an alternative fitness routine with no equipment, little space, and time. I you have any suggestions on staying fit and losing weight while traveling please tell me! (Note: this is not a resort vacation so gyms and fresh foods will not be available. I will be living with a family in a village in Senegal and working during the day on projects to improve the village.) So basically, what are some running exercises (that might not exactly be running) that will keep me at my current fitness? And how do I drop a few pounds? Thanks so much! Everything here is highly appreciated!
06/13/2010 04:23 PM
I have a school project I have to do I need to interview like 5 people can you help me out? 1. Name of interviewee: 2. Country of origin (outside USA): 3. Are gyms/fitness centers common in your native country? 4. What is the name of a gym from your country? 5. What are some of the programs, equipment and facilities, found in the gyms there? 6. Is fitness important to most people in your native country? 7. Is there anything else you want to tell me about gyms in your country?

Okay, so, long story short, my dad wants me to loose weight, so he's making me go to the gym with him. But to be honest, I don't wanna do this. At all. I'm too nervous to go- I get sick in the stomach just thinking about it. I'd feel uncomfortable around all these adults, and I would look out of place, weird, at a place like that. I don't want people thinking "HEY WHAT'S THAT CHUBBY KID DOING HERE?" >:/ help. Oh, and I'm 13, if it helps.

I recently got a membership to L.A. Fitness and I sweat pretty easily. So my problem is that when I get on a bicycle to do exercise (or on any other equipment where I have to sit down) I really hate it because when I get up I have wet sweat stains on my butt part of my cotton pants. Its embarrassing cause I feel like people will look at it and be grossed out. Do many people have this problem or am I one of the unlucky few? Also, is there any kind of material for exercise pants that will not show my butt sweat? P.S. I appreciate any advise cause this problem is keeping me from doing exercises where I have to sit down.

i read recently that useing a keyboard and a computer mouse can cause disorders and injuries like - repetitive strain injury , carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis . im 32 and for many many years have had aches and pains here and there including lower back pain , i was told it was probably due to being inactive , overweight and unfit - slight aches in shoulders while typing - and i have used my computer a lot for 5 years. ive done something about my fitness and overweight problem , ive recently joined a gym. doctors never once mentioned injuries or didorders from useing computer equipment and advised me to get fit and do regular exercise , and put my aches down to being on the heavy side , being unfit and having a slight lower curve of the spine when i was born. since reading about these disorders and injuries you can get whilst useing keyboards and mouses , it has me worried, would i know if id developed permanent injuries through useing keyboards and mouses ? are they serious disorders which stay with you for ever and forever impair your life ? to calm my anxieties id appreciate if anyone could give me clarity about this . thanks

I go to Bally Total Fitness), what can I do to control cravings, and what types of foods should I be eating, and how many times a day?

I have made some diet changes already. I've started drinking ONLY water, no other liquids (no pop, juice, etc.) But I still drink milk in my cereal. I'm limiting how many snacks I have in a day between meals. My problem isn't so much my diet (although I could use some tips,) but excercise. I'm one of those artsy people who HATES sports and being active. It does make me feel good to be active, but I get bored with an activity so quickly. I try to walk a lot, but it is such a chore because it is boring and feels like a time-waster. I have no excercise equipment, and am too self-conscious to join a gym. Plus I can't really afford expensive weight-loss/fitness services like the gym, a trainer, etc. I've tried getting into exercise regimes, but they are so boring, bland, and take up time that I wish I were spending elsewhere. I can't stick to my regimes for more than a week (or less!) because they are just so BORING! Okay, so I feel like there is barely anything that I can do to help myself lose weight. But I really want to. Can you give me some advice on stuff like diet, fitness, how to go about changing my diet, getting more enjoyable and not-boring excercise in, etc? I just don't have much time or money, but I REALLY need to lose the weight for my self-esteem.

hello everyone,im a 15 yr old rugby player. the rugby season is over and i live in the midle east (Qatar) where we are having temperatures up to 50 c on a very hot day, so as you can imagine, i wouldnt want to be running around outside. Last season i didnt play much due to a transport problem but next season im joining the club again. i have been told that im pretty good and that if i keep treaining that i could maybe make it somewhere with rugby one day. i was woundering if any1 knew how i could start building up my fitness and maybe build up my muscle tone, so that i can become a bit stronger and harder to tackle. my facilities are limited, but i do have a mini gym near by, the gym consists of a decliner bench, a flat weight bench, a "Body Solid" workout station, a treadmil, a training bike, dumbells there might be more equipment but i cant remember the names right now. can any1 help?

I am looking for some form of fitness activity i can do on off days from strength training. I'm 19 years old and I play basketball regularly, some on teams. I currently have a system where I play basketball for three hours and then strength train on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with some type of alternative activity on Saturdays. Theoretically i would like to simply alternate basketball days with strength training days for a good system but due to gym access restrictions i am forced to use this system. If anyone can help me with good strategies for getting into better shape on off days it would be a great help. Please try to limit suggestions to things with limited equipment requirements if at all possible. Also It might help to add that i have a prior knee injury and suffer from soreness periodically. Thanks in advance everyone.

am 26yr old guy. am in a complicated relationship right now. the woman am with seems to be happy, she is 25yr old. but her friend keeps telling me that she isnt happy cause am not showing her enough love, she thinks am not interested in her. am rubbish at this love stuff. I really do have feelings for her and i guess i do love her, well i do love her, i have been with her for the past year and a half and we live together. but i am rubbish at expressing feelings and stuff. i am a fitness instructor and i dont no if that is taking up time for us to have sex as well cause when ever i come home from work i am just wantin to go to bed cause am exhausted. i spend majority of my time working weekdays and weekends (privately) in a gym and i am needing to use the equipment to demonstrate to other people how to use it properly. In the relationship everythin was fine but as i started taking on more hours at the gym and building up more clients i have had less time, she works in a salon and she lost her job as they were shutting down so she has been unemployed and thats the reason i have to work all the time as she hasnt got the money. i think me working all the time has effected the relationship. I need to keep working if we want to keep up with bills and all that stuff. How do i show her i love her? Any other advice would be appriciated. I really do want to marry her some time, i have been thinking about marriage for a while, i have never thought about it before in my life, but i feel like this is the time to propose. Whats you thoughts on this? thanks

So I'm joining a gym my friend goes to this thursday and I'd like some tips on how I should be cycling around the equipment and how long I should be spending on each piece of equipment. I'm 16 years old, almost 17 and I'm only about 5 foot 7 and I weigh about 9 and a half stone. I'm mainly going to the gym to buff up a little and get my fitness back on tracks as I have been ill for the past couple of months. Another problem is I have exercise induced asthma so I'm worried I might be struggling to do what other people of my age would be doing. Any help on what I should start working out on and which machines will show me the most progress. I will be going to the gym on tuesdays and thursdays although I don't know how long I'll spend there, it could be all day if I wanted it to be. Even though I'm asthmatic I will work hard and I'd like to see a difference as soon as possible as I already have quite a decent build, I just need to tone it up. Any help would be great thanks :D

I do not have a lot of space to store exercise equipment but I would love to be able to have a full body workout inside of my home. So far, I have an an iron gym, stability ball, some 5 pound weights, a neighborhood to run in and a full size trampoline in my yard. What are some cheap and small machines and equipment that I could store in my bedroom? I don't know if this matters but my fitness level is advanced. Thanks for all of your help! Oh I forgot I also have a yoga mat and a resistance band. I also have a shake weight.

I am still a sophomore in high school, but I wanted to get started early. I can do push up and the running part well(I play soccer so I have to be good at running) but I have a real problem with sit-ups. I can perform an endless amount of them, yet can't do enough in the 2 minute time limit. what can i do to get better. PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME DO MORE SIT-UPS! really? no shit i have to do more sit-ups to do sit-ups. just tell me the exercise, length of set, how many repetitions and any other good stuff (: and no, I do not posses a gym, weights, or other things. I do not have a gym membership, and i am financially unable to get one. nor can i purchase a medicine ball weights or any of that other fancy equipment. much obliged.

I'd like to know where I can buy this fitness equipment i.e. fitness equipment retailers and/or places where I can buy such equipment online (for my home gym) and get it delivered to my home to be in Abu Dhabi? How much do they cost over in the UAE?

Hi guys, I just thought i'd see if there are any people out there who could give me some advice... I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week doing aerobic activity & muscle toning on the equipment there for my arms, legs & stomach mainly (no running machine or crosstrainer - only machines for arms, legs & abs plus steps in between each machine). After my first 6 weeks I lost 1.5inches from my waist which is great but unfortunately lost nothing from any other part of my body (legs, arms, hips) which is where my worst areas are. I don't have a huge amount to lose but I am mainly trying to reduce the size of my inner thighs and get rid of the love handle area. My diet is healthy; low fat, low carbs, lots of protein (eggs, chicken, veg etc) & water. I have only been doing the gym properly for just over 2 months so my question is... am I just being impatient and do I need to give it more time to see benefits to my other areas (maybe my waist is just the start) and hope that the fat on my legs etc starts to shift or could I speed up the process by adding something else into my weekly regime? Maybe going on a cross trainer, extra exercises on a gym ball, or taking up a hard aerobics class each week aswell? Main thing im trying to lose is the stubborn love handle and top of my leg area fat, but I know I cant spot reduce... ...I'm just looking for some friendly advice/help really :) Thanks all x

I am doing a small business simulation and need to know how much electric would be to run our fitness center we made up. We have about $80,000 in equipment which includes 10 treadmills, 10 bikes, 10 ellipticals, 6 stair masters and 2 row machines. The remaining equipment does not use electricity, but we will have to include lights as well. HELP!

Country of origin (outside USA) Are gyms/fitness centers common in your native country? What is the name of a gym from your country? What are some of the programs, equipment and facilities, found in the gyms there? Is fitness important to most people in your native country? Is there anything else you want to tell me about gyms in your country?

I don't have the money for a Gym membership, but am looking to improve my basic fitness level and look a bit better for my girlfriend. I have access to dumbells, but that is pretty much it. If there's some cheap/basic equipment that you'd like to recomend, I'd be happy to spend a bit to get myself going. Sorry I should add: Weight is not a problem, I'm currently 'underweight' for my height, so losing weight is not something I'm aiming for, just toning and fitness.
