Bizi,

For the hours alone, I would join Planet Fitness.
I hate when gyms have stupid times. You are making a good decision to join them for 10 a month even though they have few amenities.
You mostly want them for the treadmill anyway.
When you are sweeting more, you kind of have to take more showers. Showers go a long with working out.

Good idea about putting your current membership on hold. But watch your bills coming in. Sometimes gyms say they are going to do something with your money and sometimes they "get sloppy" and by sloppy I mean that they make mistakes in their benefit.

Can you send me a link to those shoes?
