Gonna have to lift again today
I guess that’s part of the problem I have with our current gym. It closes. And it closes early on friday (by 1 hour), saturday (by 4 hours), and sunday (by 3 hours). In addition, it’s only open till 10 (except when it closes early) and it’s about 20 minutes away in normal traffic/light conditions. So, in order to get in a full workout, we need to leave by 8:30, after Otto usually not getting home till 6:30. The gym is very full/busy before 8:30/9:00, so it’s a pain to go earlier in the evening.
But, they’ve turned into obnoxious pricks near close. The music is usually so damn loud I can’t hear my own music, even when turned up enough to give me a headache. Which makes me only want to work out in the rooms with no music piped in, which is pretty much excluding any real iron work. Around 20 minutes before close they start running around turning off tvs and lights, putting away equipment that you’re using, and generally being in the way or making you feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Hell, now they even make you beg for towels that used to be just out to grab.
So, I don’t want to be working out too close to close. But, it’s tough to get in a workout before hand because of room or time, let along energy levels or personal preference of time to work out. There’s plenty of times we’ve not gone to the gym because we’d be running over by a few minutes and not want to do that. There’s been plenty of times we’ve had to cut out workouts short because of closing time.
And, they have no pool.
So, all in all, I’m fucking impatient to have a gym that doesn’t close, so that I can go work out at 9 if I want, or be able to finish my workout at 10:10. Or work out in the evening on the weekends. That’ll be so damn swell. Fucking March. I hate waiting.
