Are there any run clubs in Austin,TX?

Hi All,

I am new to running and I wanted to know if there are any run clubs here in Austin or at the Life Time Fitness Club in South Austin. I would like to run with someone or a group of people that are willing to run in the mornings around 9:30-10:00 a.m. 2- 3 times per week. If anyone knows of any that would be great.

Thanks

The indoor lap pool is too cold. Does anyone agree?

The indoor lap pool is unbearably cold. Even after getting in and trying to warm up swimming laps, I am freezing. I don't know if the majority of people want it that cold for some reason and that is why they don't heat it or if there is something wrong with the heater. I would love for them to heat this pool so that it is just cool and refreshing, not freezing.

I love my Spin Class, But......

I really enjoy taking Spin. All of the instructors are great, and the workout has really improved my cardio fitness.

But.....

There are a few things that have bothered me in my recent classes.

One of the pedals on my bike has been broken in each of my last three classes. I used three different bikes and each time had the same problem. The pedals are worn out. The bearings between the pedal and stem are gone. This allows the pedal to move up and down. The up and down motion makes a clunk or pop occasionally and allows my knees to move in a way I don't like. Bike numbers were 10, 13, and ?. Now I know to carefully check the pedals on any bike before setting up and starting class, but others may not be so lucky. Will you please do some bike maintenance? Maybe have a list at the front of class for a couple of weeks to note problems. I know that the guys fixing the bikes don't have time to ride each one for 30 minutes and diagnose any problems. Let us members help you out. This will make spin better for everyone.

Hot spots. There are a few spots in the studio that are really hot. I have noticed that the AC vents at the front of the studio are arranged in no particular order. Would it be possible to adjust the vents so that they evenly cool the entire studio?

Thanks for reading. See you in Spin.

Morning Class times

I know there are a lot of people that love the 5:30 AM classes, but would it be possible to have some 6 AM classes on the days when there aren't 5:30 AM classes.

I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but that 30 minutes is the difference in being able to make the morning classes for me and I imagine some other people. Would a little variety hurt?

Labor Day Class Schedule

Does anyone know if the class schedule is going to be the same on Monday, Sept 7th - since it's Labor Day? I did a quick search on the site and couldn't find any information posted - I may have just missed it. Thanks for the help.....

Suggestions for swim?

Suggestions for out of the pool swim training?

I’m not supposed to get in the water until The Austin Tri so I just work high repetition shoulder and back. What else do you suggest?

Thanks,

Mike

I know things are winding down outside, but my kids were really disappointed that there was no ice cream, no slushies, no candy and very limited chips. Are you going to re-stock out there at all?

Intro to Yoga?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 02:03:29 GMT

All the yoga and pilates classes at my club are labeled intermediate. Am I supposed to go somewhere else to learn yoga basics? Any suggestions?

For beginners - Vinyasa Flow or Yoga/Pilates?

webmaster@lifetimefitness.com — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 22:02:01 GMT

I see both of these classes listed. For the beginner, who's not exactly the most limber cat in the world - is one of these two classes better? Vinyasa reads as if it may be a little more physically demanding with "vigorous sequences". Thanks!
