I called my Mum yesterday and told her I had joined the gym, which I am going to stick with despite finding out I'm pregnant (meaning I can't take advantage of those beautiful steam rooms and saunas that I was so looking forward to ). She was so negative about it, saying that she has never known a single person to stick with their gym membership and everyone she knows has lost money on it.

Can anyone give me good stories about being a gym member? I don't want to be yet another one who goes for a month then gives up and wastes all that money. Fortunately this one is not that expensive, only about $35/month.

Please tell me some people other than die hard fanatics stick with it!
