Can I get fit without a gym membership?

I will tell you this right now...I plan to.  I never had a gym membership as a child and I didn't have one in my early thirties when I was active and fit, why do I feel I need one now.  My big daring news, I quit the gym I was barely using.  I enjoy using my wii fit and kinect games much more than dragging myself a couple towns away to the gym I prefer.

I have many fitness games for my wii fit...wii fit plus, just dance 3, carnival games, sports games, and Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum 2009.  For my xbox360 kinect, I have kinect adventures (fun game and my thighs once seized up while playing it!), dance central 2, and active 2 personal trainer.  I have an almost unlimited supply of workouts available on my comcast on-demand.  I have numerous workout dvds...am/pm yoga for beginners, 2 different walk dvds, a Weight Watchers Get In Shape dvd with 3 levels, a pilates dvd, a 10 minute workout dvd, and a Biggest Loser dvd.  Add to all this the fact that I can work with hand weights that I own, ride my cruising bike, or just take a regular walk around the neighborhood.

Who needs a gym when it's just as easy (and cheaper) to be active at home.  More daring news...I plan on starting back at dance lessons.  There is an adult ballet class being offered nearby and I've committed to myself that I will be taking that class.  I've also inquired about a yoga class for "curvy women".  I'm hoping to hear back soon that it is a drop-in class and you can drop in at any time it's running.  I'm working on my determination level.  I'm in lazy mode and I don't want to be.  I know I can do this, I want to do this, I have the desire to do it, I just need that determination and drive to do it.
