While I belonged to a fitness center in Ohio, I find the free classes at the rec centers and water aerobics work well for me - along with my tennis. The classes are less boring and more social than the equipment in a gym. Many of the classes are full body and "scientifically" work body parts and I feel that I am getting as good a workout as I got doing the machines at the fitness center. I have heard good things about the personal trainers at the wellness center (now transitioning to the new fitness center). I think it is a matter of personal preference and discipline.
