Okay, I really enjoy going to the gym. I push paper and dollars for most of my work time. So after work, I like doing the opposite - namely lift and push stuff using my body.
I’m at the gym 5-6 times a week. It feels good to de-stress, has decent effects on my body, and I get in a zone and get high off my exertions.
Okay, maybe it’s a case of narcissism as well. I’m a medium sized guy, about 190 lbs, but I know I lift a decent amount of weight for my size and for being an asian guy. It looks as well as feels good when I see myself in the mirror squating 8 plates or curling a plate a side.
My local gym that I meet up with V after work many a week night is the Weber GoodLife. It WAS an Exclusively Women’s but went co-ed and expanded. It is waaaay too busy in rush hour (after work 5-7 or so). Parking is insane and sometimes the wait for equipment/weights requires patience. Want to book a squash court? Good luck!
(Having said that, it is a decent facility — one complaint: Please more squat racks and chin up bars)
GoodLife is still promoting the club and trying to sign up more members. They’re already way too busy at peak hours. I wonder when people will see that it is too busy and join another gym or some smart competitor opens up shop down the street. I suppose the one year contract in most memberships locks in that revenue stream for GoodLife.
Sorry, rant mode off.
