Rant: gym memberships are evil. They are painfully attractive and also painfully difficult to get out of. You think that you want them, and that you'll use them, and feel all great about yourself and your future hot body when you sign up for one. Then... slowly... you've realized you've made a big mistake. You never go, or your commitment wanes after a few weeks. Then, you're freaking stuck with this membership for however long you've agreed to. And the muscles don't grow just because you're making an automatic monthly payment from your credit card.

I've made this mistake twice now, and am in the middle of untangling myself from the second membership. I'm done with this crap. I'm taking advantage of the free gym that is the outdoors, now that the beautiful spring and summer is upon us in Boston.
