FALLING ACORNS, MIGHTY OAKS

Thoughts on the Gym

I needed somewhere to collect my thoughts on the gym.  I’ve been doing Beach Body (not religiously as you know), I have been traveling for work, and I just haven’t been in the gym.

They’ve changed names and moved recently.  I have been to the new location twice.  The first time, I was anxious because the cardio room wasn’t ready yet.  I ventured into the weight room and was like WOAHHH.

The machines in there are advanced.  They are not for the casual gym user.  The stuff in there is serious… I thought okay, let me give it another chance and try out the cardio room when it opens.

I ventured in today.

The cardio room is so much smaller than the old gym.  I’m also struggling because I’m missing the women’s only room.

I don’t know… I’m starting to question if this is the right place for me.  I spent the entire four miles on the elliptical wondering if I had made the right choice.

I’m going to give it a few more goes, but if I don’t find myself happy there I might cancel.  I despise canceling things, mainly because it is an awkward conversation.  I don’t want to get “stuck” going there because I’m avoiding the awkward conversation.  I also don’t wanna get sucked into the rut of not using it because I feel awkward.

It just doesn’t feel like a place for someone who is interested in working out casually.  I know their new emphasis is body building, which just ain’t my cup of tea.

I feel like I need a gym membership to get me out the house.  I don’t know…
