Ok, so I have a confession to make. Sorry, not as juicy as you would like, but give me time. Anyhow, here is the thing, I actually am a member of two gyms. I joined a new gym in July and never quit my old one. I was not sure how this new relationship would work out, so I kept the old. I have decided that I actually hate the new gym. I went there this evening, and the room where they have "special exercises" for stretching, using the big balance balls, etc, had oh I believe 3 or 4 men (I didn't want to seem like I was staring) doing flips and such that you would see on WWF wrestling, along with swearing. No one should be subjected to this when they are working out. Plus, it really makes me never want to use the "special exercise" room again. I have also found that people stare at each other at this gym, which when I go to the gym it truly is just to work out. Now, I am sure you are thinking, go back to the other gym, you never quit it. That is true, and I do miss the people there who were normal people that just said hi and left you alone. However, I am in love with the spinning class at the new gym. The instructor on Sunday runs the class in such a manner that she expects you to be nauseated by the end! I LOVE that! I know, that is a little crazy. The question then becomes, do I give up the normal at the old gym for the spinning class and weirdos, or give up my spinning class and go back to same old and boring? Or, is it crazy to continue to belong to both? Use the one for the spinning class, and the other for treadmill/elliptical/weight training?



Now you have to understand, I am what I would call a serial monogamist with my gyms. I go to them for the free weeks, and will not join if there is a contract, but if I join, I don't cheat on it with others like I am currently doing. I also could join a different gym, but I have been to them all in the surrounding area. I am even contemplating taking swimming lessons at a completely different gym, but I would have to join that one as well to take the lessons. Now juggling 3 relationships is just impossible! I have already been at the one with the swimming lessons and left for various reasons, so I can't be there continually. I guess for now I will continue to secretly go to both gyms until I get tired of the spinning class and wanting to throw up or until I decide the weird people are not that weird. The other pro to the new gym that is really causing the debate: A Starbucks across the street, so I can end my workout with a nice latte. Unfortunately for me, coffee trumps all.
