We moved to Jersey and while I was out of my comfort zone, I entered a new challenge and youand#8217;re not going to believe it – I now work out with all women and like it. I joined Get in Shape for Women in Westfield, NJ with my mom. Itand#8217;s an all womenand#8217;s personal training gym. Thereand#8217;s never more than four women training at a time with one trainer, but sometimes itand#8217;s just my mom and I. We start off doing a half hour of weight training (including TRX and swinging kettle bells) and finish with a half hour of cardio.
I completely underestimated what I was getting myself into. I used to look at going to the gym after work like going to happy hour. A bunch of attractive young professionals in NYC attempting to look even more attractive. Working out was social. Moving to New Jersey and going to an all womenand#8217;s gym with my mom seemed, well, different. I laughed at the idea, but was excited to have a personal trainer again.
Let me tell you, it kicked my ass! Quickly realizing my weakness on day one, weight training, I learned something quickly: If you want to lose weight or stay thin, you should do cardio. But unless you want to become a smaller version of exactly who you are or stay the same, you also need to hit the weights to really sculpt.
My new gym for the summer , Get in Shape for Women is on 327 South Ave. in Westfield, NJ 07090.
