I recently received an email from the fellow who purchased our workout room exercise equipment.

“We love the equipment,” he wrote. “We are really getting in shape and trimming down!”

As I typed my response to him, I couldn’t help but notice that even my fingers had gained weight since the equipment left our house. Time to find a gym.

Luckily, a new, state-of-the-art fitness center, Mountainside Fitness, has recently opened up at 120th and Federal.

Complete with water-falling walls and a relaxing movie theater room, Mountainside offers every opportunity to slim down, tone up, stretch out and all those other unimaginable things we’re all trying to force our bodies to do.

The locker rooms are beautifully equipped, but not over the top, with your choice of free lockers or, for a relatively small fee, a private locker set up where they actually—get this–wash your clothes for you. I asked if I can leave my kids laundry in there, but it was a no-go.

Here’s the thing of it all: the prices are actually pretty reasonable. Monthly memberships range from $41 to $54 per month and they don’t require you to sign on for years at a time as their plans are all open-ended and month-to-month.

Steam rooms, rock walls, a great child-care area and every class imaginable makes this gym a must-see or at least a go-try.

Check it out—you’ll see me there working hard towards skinnier fingers.
