I am responding to the article written in last Thursday’s (Oct. 14) Weekender regarding the local gyms. It sounded as if the author was inexperienced at “working out”. It seems as if the article wrongfully praised one gym and bashed the other. I am a member of Burns Gym and I happen to like the hassle-free, no waiting atmosphere of Burns. I also like the fact that I feel comfortable as a female going there to lift free-weights. In addition, they have great step aerobic classes at various times of the day. And by the way, what gym doesn’t smell of sweat?
