The new gym I joined earlier this summer is under construction still but scheduled to open Jan 1. The one I'm at is fine, but this one I can walk to without planning and it's going to be MAH- velous!!!

Some current pics-

See that "set back" area there? Hello! Outdoor pool!!! On weekends, they will bring out the tiki huts and its margaritas pool side! This is a lounge pool deck. The lap swim pool and the exercise pool are just to the right and then behind it, so three pools in all.

To heck with the Country Club (which I will pass on my way), this place has everything from typical classes, weights, machines, nail salon, hair salon, estheticians for facials, etc massage therapists.

I SO DESERVE this membership!

And yes!!! Underground parking too!

Looks like it will be a nice facility.

The closest I have to a "good" gym here is a Planet Fitness, that is less than half the size of others in the country, and with 3000+ members, you can never get to use aerobic machines or the weight area unless you go and wait for hours in line.

So I use the really small workout room at the local hospital that is close to work. But it gets the job done, just limited and boring in the winters.

Tell the owners of your new gym that there is a market in Jackson Meeeeechigan they need build here too.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
