Free Pass to The Best Green Gym

Once a month, my refined sugar intake requirements elevate quite uncontrollably. I find myself noshing on anything processed with a high sugar and chocolate content. Also, my emotional sensitivity borders on the psychotic. It's very possible to find me sobbing after a touching TV commercial or in last night's case, the presentation of the gold medal to adorable Shaun Johnson. Either I need to be committed or it's simply that time of the month. I need to hit the gym offset this bizarre imbalance pronto!

The Olympic coverage is not helping either. I find my eyes glued to the TV screen in sheer exhaustion night after night, even to watch rowing! Kudos to NBC's mesmerizing coverage.

I love sports. Not only watching them, but participating in them as well. When I can't run and cycle on the street, I hit the gym. In a high stress and high calorie world, it's a requirement as a part of my green lifestyle - for both mind and body. So I don't go totally cuckoo.

Luckily, I stumbled upon a fantastic gym in my area: Equinox Fitness. It's a beautiful facility with great trainers, awesome yoga, a fabulous spa, and spic-n-span locker rooms. As a green junkie, this is all very nice but what really hooked me in was their green initiatives. Some of them include: low voc products used in the design and building of the gym, plastic and paper recycling, the use of low-tox/natural cleansers in the gyms, the use of recycled paper at corporate, a shop offering organic clothing and reusable bottles, and soon-to-be-implemented technologies that improve energy efficiency, indoor air quality and reduce water consumption.

If you need to tame those hormones, and look and feel great to boot, email me @klivesgreen@gmail.com for your 3 day free trial pass and I guarantee that you will love it!
