What would you say to a middle aged guy who hated PE in school and now wonders about joining a gym.

6. I work at a gym P/T

I would recommend a gym with Spinning classes since you like to bike so much. Weight training is always a good idea, just go easy at first, and don't be afraid to ask for advice from a professional. Go tour the facilities closest to you, because if you cannot get there easily, even in bad weather, that will be another obstacle to your goals. Ask about different plans, pricing, and non committal memberships when you tour. Decide how much you are willing to spend before you go. Find out how crowded the areas you want to use at the time of day you want to use them will be.

A gym membership is only helpful to you waist and wallet if you actually use it!
