Staying fit by going to the gym is a common daily ritual for many people. Luckily in the town of Trumbull, residents have many options for where they can become gym members. Currently, three open gym facilities are open and one is en route to launch soon giving Trumbull residents a plethora of options to suit personal preference. Whether you want a gym with a sauna, tanning, or classes, Trumbull\u2019s fitness establishments can meet everyone\u2019s desires.<\/p>\n

Planet Fitness has been the original go-to gym for many teenagers and adults. At an affordable price, just $100 a year, for a white card membership, membership is common.<\/p>\n

\u201cI go to planet fitness mostly because I can afford it myself. Plus, it has everything I need. I don\u2019t need a fancy gym just to workout,\u201d said senior Kylie Rotanelli.<\/p>\n

Planet Fitness has all the basic machines, as well as tanning and massage chairs for black card members. Although some like working out at the traditional yellow-and-purple covered facility, some residents have chosen the newer facilities in Trumbull.<\/p>\n

The Lakewood YMCA is a smaller scale fitness center some choose to workout at. With fewer machines than Planet Fitness, the workout environment is much different. Some feel as though the YMCA gives a more personal feeling rather than being surrounded by nearly 100 other people working out. This gym also offers organized classes at set times every week. Despite the fact that not as many people are members here, those who are, love the YMCA\u2019s newly redone conditions and small workout area.<\/p>\n

Recent excitement has been over the new gym, LA Fitness, which opened at the Trumbull Shopping Mall. LA Fitness is a state of the art facility with everything from the basic treadmill to a swimming pool. LA offers unique classes, personal training, racquetball, a basketball court, pool and sauna, and cycling. This gym has everything you could possibly need to customize your workout and stay in shape, going by their slogan \u201cExercise your options.\u201d While many people have made the switch to LA Fitness, some have stuck with their original memberships due to the higher price of LA, at $30 a month.<\/p>\n

Despite all LA Fitness has to offer, anticipation is high for the soon-to-be opening of The Edge. While many surrounding towns including Stratford, Shelton, and Fairfield all have The Edge gym, a brand new facility is opening in Trumbull. The Edge Fitness Center is the perfect medium for those who want a nice workout environment, but not one that is over the top. The Edge offers all the essential machines, as well as tanning, classes, and personal training. The new gym will even be offering turf sprint lanes and a juice bar to enjoy post workout. This gym has received excellent reviews and is reasonably priced at $20 per month. Expected early in 2013, the grand opening is just around the corner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
