[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Bethesda Chevy Chase YMCA where literally 70% of the patrons are either over weight or just old. 
No shaming here!! [/quote]

I think most YMCA's are 70% retired patrons. In the aerobics and step classes it's closer to 90%.[/quote]

I think that the Y is a great place for feeling like you can blend in, even if you are not as fit as you like.  I go to the Y in Silver Spring, and I like that there are older people, fat and thin people, families with kids, all kinds of people there.  It is a big contrast to some gyms -- I did an LA Fitness once, and I felt like the weight area was all grunting muscled men and the aerobics classes were toned young women.  The diversity of the people working out at the Y helped me to feel comfortable.

At most gyms, you can get a free 1-day pass to try it out.  I suggest you try out some gyms you might like, and you can see what the clientele is like and if you feel comfortable there.  Good luck! [/quote]
