Let's talk about fitness.
Alright, guys. I have fallen off the fitness bandwagon. My pants are tight and I am at a weight where I refuse to buy new ones because I am not going to settle in here.

I have found that my fitness preferences tend to swing around pretty drastically every six months to a year, and the things that I used to love doing no longer motivate me the same way. I'm not going to Crossfit as regularly as I used to, and I am biking less since the weather became frigid (and since I bought a car). I still will sometimes go for a run, but the shorter days leave me less time to do this in the daylight, when I prefer to be out.
My firm recently announced that it would give all associates $195 towards a monthly gym membership. I could use this money for a 9 class per month Crossfit membership ($165 --- I KNOW), or I could use it to join an actual gym with a variety of (sadly, non-Crossfit) classes. I'm leaning towards the latter for now, since I'm feeling like a need some variety in my life. Plus, since I seem to enjoy driving around, I could drive to the gym to get my sweat on.
So help me out here:

So help me out here:
- What do you guys do for exercise in the winter?
- Do you belong to a gym? If so, what do you think are the most important things I should be considering in deciding which gym to go to.
- If you live in DC, are there any gyms/studios that I absolutely must check out before I sign paperwork somewhere? Where is the best place for me to spend my $195/mo?
