Today marks my first workout of 2009. Not very exciting. Thankfully, today was still a "holiday" for most people, so when I strolled into the gym at 4:15 on this Friday afternoon (work was dead so I left early, oh well. I am pretty sure I will make up the hours next week), it was desserted. The first sign was when I could actually get a parking spot. At good ol' Planet Fitness (www.planetfitness.com) , parking is at a premium (or should I say the lot is too small for a gym that costs $10 a month and therefore everyone you ever meet is a fellow member). There are days I drive in circles before I find a spot. Now this is not so I can find a close spot, this is just to find a spot, preferably not on the random side side, that I find to be quite sketchy.
Let's face it, we have all made the resolution to get fit/lose weight/be healthier. This usually starts with a gym membership (or actually showing up at the gym you already pay to belong to). The influx of people on January 2nd is expected but still unappreciated to those who make the committment to fitness 365 days a year. I think this was the worst in college, when everyone returns from Winter Break, with New Year's Resolutions and Spring Break on the horizon. One time I went to the gym right when the gym opened (7am, aka the middle of the night to most college students) and I couldn't even get a stationary bike! I was shocked. Things are a little better a PF, considering they are basically a warehouse filled with equipment (along with hideous purple and yellow decor).
Nevertheless, I am dreading Monday, the first day of all 124197549 PF members begin their committment to fitness in 09!
