Can anyone recommend any health and fitness magazines that are not in English?

What are some good health/fitness clubs?

I live in the Northland area and need a good place to work out, not too expensive.
I like Eagle Fitness in Liberty. It’s small and nobody knows you and they leave you alone and they have great work out equipment. That’s where I’d go!

I’m considering applying for a job at 24 hour fitness at the front desk position. But I’m wondering if I will be allowed to work out in the gym if there is nothing going on that needs my attention. Any help from someone who has work/ed there, or simply just goes there would be very [...]
