Gym take two
Tom & I joined a gym 1 1/2 years ago & have been going regularly (apart from a few periods of lapses in attendance) ever since. But since starting work I have found it hard to find a suitable time to go. This mainly because my gym membership only allowed me to go in the mornings. Well last month Tom decide we were just wasting our money & that we should quit & find something else to do. Problem is we couldn't find anything else to do & with winter coming on the option of going for a walk/run outside everyday just isn't appealing. So it's back to the gym. We have found one that is cheaper & allows us to go at anytime of the day. You can definatley tell that it's cheaper though...no individual TV on the treadmills, no free coffee & breadrolls, no heat adjustable showers. But I guess those are all just frills & the main purpose of the gym is still attainable.

Huh? What would you want coffee and breadrolls at the gym for anyway? I thought the gym was for working off the extra food you've already consumed, not offering more...
ReplyDeleteYeah but you always eat something after being at the gym & better a breadroll, than going across the steet to McDonalds!!
ReplyDeleteAh no...I don't eat after being at the gym until it is a normal meal time. And Peter especially doesn't feel like eating after exercise.
ReplyDeleteI was also thinking (and Peter just made the same comment), wouldn't it be better for the gym to offer pieces of fruit instead of bread roll. A bread roll doesn't has little nutritional value and most people already eat more bread products than they should.
ReplyDeleteYou always used to eat a musli bar or something after the gym when I was with you. Plus it usually is a meal time when I'm finished the gym either breakfast or lunch. I'm always hungry after I exercise.
ReplyDeleteYes some fruit would be better, but it's denmark we're in. 1. fruit is awfully expensive 2. It's danish tradition to eat breadrolls in the morning.
I only ate when it was morning tea time - and so when you were with me because we did a 8.30am class, that meant it was a little before 10am when we were leaving, which is morning tea time for the kids and me. Also isn't the whole tradition/habit thing half the reason people are overweight, because they eat it just because that's what you do, instead of because it is nutritional for you - another reason I think it is dodgy for a gym to offer bread rolls.
