Gym and Machine hoggers!

Hey guys... what’s been happening?

So I took a little break from blogging over the weekend (and Monday coz it was Valentines Day). :)

I mean, if I cant find the time to exercise, its going to be hard to find the time to blog. One of the reasons I started this blog was to replicate a journal/diary. This way I can keep track of my failure progress :) hehe

Let get to the title of my blog! Machine Hoggers! I joined a gym a few months ago. It was a brand new gym when I joined and there was never another soul in sight. I loved it! I went for a few weeks after I joined but then fell sick (for other reasons). So put my membership on hold for a month.

I went back for the first time on Friday. And OH MY GOSH... the gym was packed! I literally had to wait 30mins JUST to get on a machine (was praying for a treadmill, but ended up with a bike).

What is this? I stayed on the bike for 30minutes waiting for someone to get off a treadmill or at least a cross trainer. You think someone had the courtesy to SHARE a machine? NOPE! No one got off. They were all hogging the machines like it was the end of the world.

I got out of that gym as quick as possible before I screamed!

I drove to another branch (the gym I am a member of says that I can use any of there locations). Spoke to the manager of the other branch and he advised that his gym is also full at this hour of the day (after work = peak time).

But when else can I go to the gym? I wake up at 6am to get to work at 8am. Finish work at 4pm, get home at 5pm. Have some dinner and the hit the gym at 6pm. By the time I get home from the gym and shower, its time for bed.

Does anyone workout in the mornings???

The Manager at the gym advised that the gym is totally empty in the mornings. BUT.... this would mean I have to wake up at like... 4:30am to get a workout in before work.

I guess this is a sacrifice I’m going to have to make (I am not a morning person). But if I want to workout without the gym being FULL... then it looks like I’m getting up at 4:30am from now onwards :-/ eek.

I will let you know my decision once I have made one. Wish me luck :)

Peace xx
