The best gym ever

I am in the process of joining this gym here in Wellington, Les Mills. It is a little pricey, but I have budgeted for it, and it is completely worth it. Meredith and I went to two intro classes this morning (BodyJam, which is dance stuff, and BodyPump, which is weight lifting), and we also went to to actualy BodyPump class. She is a member already, and I have my two-day visitor trial pass. I love this gym. There is another location up on the Terrace that is smaller, but I will be going to the one on Taranaki St. It is 4 levels in an old brick building, and they have amazing equipment (the same brand we have back at Tech, LifeFitness or whatever). There is also this cool cardio theater with rows of rowing machines, bikes, treadmills, and ellipticalls, all arranged in stadium seating, and the room is dimmer, the walls are an eggplant color, and all the equipment faces the giant screen where intense music videos are playing all the time. It is so great. If any of you come visit me in Wellington (which I hope someone will!), bring some workout clothes and come with me (I can bring guests). It is so cool!

I was talking with Meredith and Amy last night, and I believe we are going to Fiji on our break that is coming up. We have two weeks of holidays at the end of August. The final three days I am going skiing, but I thought it would be a good time to travel as well. There are about 10 Rotary clubs in Fiji, so we are going to try to visit those as well. I am meeting them at STA Travel up in the student centen on Monday to see about this trip. It is by no means finalized right now, but hopefully it will all work out!

That's about it for down under. The last All Blacks and Lions test is tonight in Auckland, so I will go out somewhere to watch the game with the other Kiwis (actually, I will probably be out with Americans and Germans, but there will be plenty of Kiwis around). Cheers!
