"Quería estar en (buena) forma, así que me hice miembro/socio de un gimnasio/polideportivo" o "me apunté en un gimnasio".

"Quería mantanerse en forma, así que me hice un miembro del gimnasio local"...on the other hand, I have to bow to Cordobesa's superior knowledge. Regards...Jool.

Not mantanerme? - lydianish1, Feb 23, 2012
No creas. De hecho, me gusta más el verbo que tú has usado, Jool. Creo que es mejor usar "mantener(se)" en este caso :) - Cordobesa, Feb 23, 2012
If you are talking about yourself, it must be "mantenerme". If it's about someone else, then "mantenerse" is correct, but then the second part has to use "se hizo". - 00d312f5, Feb 23, 2012
