			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://runningwithoutmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/crunch.png' alt='Crunch Gym'  style="float:right; margin: 0 0 10px 10px"/> In the beginning of February, representatives of <a href="http://www.crunch.com/crunch/" target="_blank">Crunch</a>, a gym in Hollywood, offered to give all employees a one month complimentary pass. February flew by so fast, and time&#8217;s running out! I finally decided to go  since today was scheduled to be a &#8220;rest day&#8221; or a &#8220;crosstrain day&#8221;. It&#8217;s somewhat on the way home, it&#8217;s free, I&#8217;ll get some cardio in, and there won&#8217;t be traffic when I&#8217;m done. How can I resist? I looked at the classes online and at 8pm there was something called &#8220;Raw Groove.&#8221; Fair enough, that&#8217;s what I decided to do. </p>
<p>The gym is somewhat small, but seems to have a wide variety of things to do. It had all the machines and weights of what you&#8217;d expect from a gym. What sets itself from 24 Hr Fitness or LA Fitness is the amount of classes they offer, multiple rooms for classes, they have a boxing ring, and it has that sense of &#8220;Hollywood&#8221; style. Not sure if that last one is a good or bad thing. No one really hassled me about signing up for a year contract which some gyms do. I had some time to kill before my class, so I worked on my shoulders with some of the machines.</p>
<p>I felt a little weird when I first entered the class because aside from the instructor, there were only 2 other guys&#8230; and there were oh, 30 other girls. 10 girl to 1 guy ratio? Oh darn, <em>right</em>? Who am I to complain? Once the music started though, I knew I wasn&#8217;t in a &#8220;beginner&#8221; class. I eventually got used to the moves, after a few moments of just standing there, and some times when I&#8217;d spin the wrong way. Damn, they were making some difficult &#8220;U Got Served&#8221; moves to Justin Timberlake, Flo Rida, Mary J Blige, and more.  I came to realize how uncoordinated I am, but it was really fun. Watch out now, I&#8217;ll bust some of these moves out in the clubs! There were so many 8 counts, jumps, spins, and hits for a whole hour.. it was a well worth cross train session and was a good break from the running monotony. Tomorrow night&#8217;s classes: Cardio Tai Boxing, or Pole Dancing?</p>
