24 Hour Fitness – I’ve been a member at 24 Hour Fitness now for almost two months and it’s been great! The facility I frequent has just about everything you could want to get in shape. The staff has been incredibly friendly and the trainers I have talked to have been helpful. I’m a huge fan of the fact that I can go to the gym, whenever I want, and it’s always open. I highly recommend 24 Hour Fitness for those who are looking for a great membership value. Unlimited access works out to be about $1.00 per day… tough to beat in this economy.

Here’s a great way to overcome the sweet tooth obstacle and super charge your workout. The Snickers Marathon Protein bars have become a daily staple. I’ve been using the Marathon Protein (tried and like both) as a meal replacement for breakfast and the fuel for my workout.

They taste great, provide plenty of energy for the gym and help in the elimination of the craving for sweets. You wouldn’t really even know you were eating something good for you, in a blind taste test.

I’ve also had one of the energy bars (multi-gran crunch) and this was also very good. The price point is very reasonable. Six bars in a box, used to replace a meal, works out to just over $1.00 per meal. That’s less than $7.00 for a week of breakfasts.
