The Great Gym Debate

Taking a step out of our otherwise terribly dull and hum-drum daily routine, David and I decided to boldly venture where neither of us have gone before - a different gym!

Well, same gym, but at a different location. We were actually having dinner around the area (at an awesome porridge shop that is my new found sliced bread) and being too lazy to go to our usual gym, went on ahead to the same gym around the area we were in.

Being excited for no reason - just another Monday.

Anyhoo, unnecessary pro's/con's list!

Pro's:
  • Less people. Less machine hogging. Less sweat/gym stock smell lingering 10 minutes after machine occupant has left.
  • First pickings at prime locker positions i.e. not too near the entrance, not too far from the showers and changing rooms.
  • Hardly any beautiful people. Does tremendous wonders for self-esteem.
  • Highly unlikely to bump into beautiful people that I know, people I dont want to see in sweaty conditions and seeing people I know in too-short shorts.
  • McDonalds outlet right at doorstep.
Con's:
  • Not enough people. Seeing slightly pudgy people going at an incline of 5.0 and doing a speed of 7 on the treadmill is pretty good motivation.
  • Slight overall feeling of claustrophobia.
  • Not being able to find where the group class rooms are.
  • Locker rooms and shower areas are kinda creepy when it's mostly empty. And quiet. Deserted. Dead.
  • McDonald's outlet right at doorstep.
I'll flip a coin next time.
