I do not know how to tell you just exactly how much I love working out at my aerobics center . Without some kind of fitness center, I think the stress of my job would not have allowed me to see my fiftieth birthday, but I am fifty-two and still going strong!

You see, I am a top-level executive, working in a fortune 500 company in one of the most powerful senior management positions. Many people believe that executives don't do any work, but just sit on their can and get rich off of other people's sweat. What an unfounded assumption! For the very top few fat old bald men, this might be true, but for those of us one step down, it is not the case at all. Contrary to popular belief (and popular myth), we scurry about frantically and get very rich off our own sweat.

It is this scurrying that makes the aerobic center absolutely indispensable. An aerobic center like mine is something that you might not be familiar with, as it is a very exclusive exercise destination. The aerobic center is not just another simple gym or health club where you come to take aerobic exercise classes. Sure, it does offer classes, but there is just so much more.

The aerobic center is basically the ultimate gym of your dream. Not only does it have 24 hour facilities, but they are the most comprehensive and state-of-the-art facilities imaginable. There are classes going on at all times of day and night, with some of the world's best trainers. You can choose what best fits your schedule, with the best equipment and attended to only by the best.

And that is just the beginning of the numerous benefits I get at my aerobic center. What if somebody does not primarily want exercise, but some peace of mind? This is the perfect place, too. The aerobic center offers all types of luxury and relaxation, complete with health drinks and light refreshment. If I want to complete my aerobic exercises and relax in a Jacuzzi, I am virtually guaranteed a privately reserved facility in which to unwind. There are masseuses available at your service at all times of day and night, as well as a personal trainer who will meet with you up to three times a week, if you so desire.

If you are into more exotic forms of health therapy at the aerobic center, such as acupuncture, fasting and cleansing diets, and meditation, the good news is that they are offered on the menu too. And just because it is an aerobic center, that does not mean that it is not equipped for anaerobic exercises. There are an abundance of weight lifting and strength training facilities on top of the regular cardiovascular stuff. And then there are, of course, the recreational sports at the aerobic center. From racquetball to tennis, it is all there for the taking. You know you'll be spoilt for choice. I already am.
