Let's go work out today.

[drei_lengua]

Cześć,

Jak się mówi "Let's go work out today." po polsku? By "working out", I mean going to a fitness club to lift weights and/or use a treadmill/ski machine for cardiovascular exercise.

Dziękuję,
Drei

Hi drei_lengua,

The most conventional way to say that is "chodźmy dziś poćwiczyć". To sound informal, one can use "chodźmy dziś powyciskać".

w siłowni - in a gym
w fitness klubie - in a fitness club

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Cześć.
There isn't any specific verb for work out.You can say : iść na siłownię, poćwiczyć na siłowni ( albo w klubie fitness ), (po)trenować.
So: Chodżmy poćwiczyć na siłowni.
Chodżmy do klubu fitness.( it is obvious for what )
Może dzisiaj potrenujemy? ( suggestion )

Hi again, I think that "chodźmy dziś potrenować" flows nicely.

PS: "klub fitness" seems to be more common than "fitness klub"

Cheers

From the above options I like
Idziemy na siłownię?
Seems the most natural to me.

As for the fitness klub, I must admit it isn't often used in my neck of the woods, and it sounds somewhat pretentious to me, a kind of word you're more likely to hear in a commercial or see in a brochure advertising a place of this type. I used to work out at a gym which included a fitness club too, but no one reffered to it as fitness klub, even the people who used this facility. I sometimes heard them saying idę na fitness, but I wouldn't since it doesn't make any sense.
As for the occurence you could use both depending on the context.
