Hello from Flagstaff

Hi everyone,

I began working out at the New Plymouth YMCA about 26 years ago.

I was one of the first members there when they set up their exercise center in a basement area.

After about 6 months there I joined the gym in New Plymouth that was one the corner of Egmont street above the Italian restaurant.

After a few years I moved to the USA and married a California girl. Julie and I have continued to workout after 20 years of marriage. Working out is such a part of our lives I plan vacations around accommodations that offer the best gyms or gyms nearby. Las Vegas resorts offer some of the best gyms going.

In Vegas alone we have worked out at the Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand, Luxor, Excalibur, Platinum Hotel. The best gym we have worked out in so far is the Sports Club LA in Irvine, California(In Orange County). This place has everything you could ever want, including lots and lots of beautiful people. These same people can also valet park their Bentleys and big BMW's at the front curb.

Julie and I both eat very well and as a reward we recently got ourselves water-weighed at Northern Arizona University for that real record of our bodyfat. Julie recorded a 21% and my results showed that I had 13% bodyfat. I am not skin and bones at 6ft 190lbs but the water-weigh is almost the most accurate measure you can get. Also not bad for a 43 year old.

Travelling to New Plymouth, NZ then Melbourne, Perth, Cairns and Brisbane during May and I have all the gyms we will be visiting worked out. A little obsessive but I enjoy what I do.

Hey John. Welcome. Yeah, planning your holiday around your workouts is a little obsessive, but you wouldn't be the first bodybuilder to do that!

sounds awesome!

just out of interest, did you get your bf done by callipers or 'magic' scales, just for a comparison of how they compare to the water weigh?
