Is working out at your current gym about as enjoyable as rush hour traffic? Loads of people waiting for machines, bumper-to-bumper treadmills… you know the routine. Time to check out the autobahn of health clubs–San Francisco's The Sports Club/LA. Move easily from top-of-the-line workout machines to private or group classes—including yoga, Pilates, and step and sculpt. Sound good? You're in luck. The Sports Club/LA is giving Weekend Sherpa subscribers a complimentary five-day pass. Feel what it's like to enjoy the gym again: sweat it out at a kickboxing class, swim laps in the Olympic-sized pool, shoot hoops in the full-sized basketball court, and learn the sculpting power of weight training. After your workout, relax at the refreshment bar. Ready for life in the fit lane? Get your complimentary five-day pass. If you like what you see, get your initiation fee waived in October.

TIP:
Join The Sports Club/LA for a Peak Performance weekend. You don't have to be a member to participate in this weekend of wellness workshop. Weekend Sherpa subscribers are invited to attend one or two of these special mind-and-body classes with core conditioning, mind-focusing breathing techniques, and silent meditation. The classes are Friday, Oct. 23, 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 24, 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. For Weekend Sherpa subscribers it's only $35 to attend one or both classes. RSVP here.

The complimentary five-day pass is for Weekend Sherpa subscribers and must be activated by Oct. 27, 2009. When you join the club with its Health Gold membership by the end of October 2009, your initiation fee will be waived. Reserve your spot for the Peak Performance classes.
