Just Nicky

Sweat December 6, 2007

I’ve just signed up for my 3rd attempt at joining a gym, despite having sworn I would never do it again. I was tempted by a very cheap deal offered by the Victoria Uni gym near us, which is under renovation.

I went in to sign up this morning and really liked what I saw. It’s small. There isn’t a vast acreage of machinery. It’s relatively quiet. Yes, they have jjj playing and there’s building work going on around them but (due to the renovations) there’s no pulsating dance/workout music pounding into your brain. There were only 3 other people working out while I was there and I can confidently say that 2 of them were at least 15-20 years older than me, so there’s little chance of me feeling older, less fit, or fatter than everyone else in the room.

I’m aiming to go twice a week. I could try for three times but twice is more likely. It’s only a 3 month deal so at the end of Feb I can reassess and decide whether it’s worth continuing. By then the new gym in the shops near us should be up and running and I might swap to going there because it will be even closer. I could drop Finn at kinder and pop in. … But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I’ve got to get through this 3 months first.
