this is a pathetic topic for a post, but I needed to write something... it's been too long.

Top 10 reasons that I love New York Sports Club

10. quick check-in
9. i can get into more than 140 locations
8. reservation system for classes
7. showers are only somewhat nasty
6. "club abs" - who'd have thought that it's possible to do 25 minutes of crunches?
5. spinning class - turn down the lights and let me enter the zone...
4. "xpressline" - a weight workout for every muscle group in less than 20 minutes
3. boxing class - taught by a former pro, the most tiring 75 minutes ever
2. no ambient music!
1. it's exactly 43 steps from the front door of the New York Stock Exchange

The first nine reasons really make you look like someone really concerned about their shape and health - then that last one just makes you look like a lazy bum!

Love ya Baker. Good to see you posting again :)

Well, I'm relieved to know that the most tiring 75 minutes you've ever spent didn't involve ME.
Love, YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW

The fact that there is no ambient music is enough to make me want to join! That's my big complaint at my gym...not to mention the fact that high schoolers run the place and have to have it turned up to deafening levels. Way to go, Brandon! That exercise is so important for you; its not a luxury, its a necessity.

This may be a long shot, but is this the Brandon Baker who was my RA in Maybe dorm at ACU in the spring of 1998. I tend to remember there being two Brandon Bakers. I lived with Robert Hance and hung out with Ryan English. Ring any bells?
