Gym Sunday
Jan. 3rd, 2016 10:27 amToday was arms & chest day with the new routine. So far, so good.
There wasn't much cleanup today... apparently the Saturday night gym folks are neater than the Friday night folks. And that's a good thing as it allowed me to get into my workout a little sooner. The flat benches and cable crossover machines are always in high demand so I like to get those portions of my workout done as quickly and as early as possible to avoid waiting for equipment to come free.
Yesterday, I noticed the crowds starting to swarm in around 10am or so. I didn't recognize many so I'm guessing the new years resolutioners are making their move. As much as I (and other regulars) like to pick on the newbies who come to the gym religiously for 2-3 weeks in early January then vanish for the rest of the year, I'm very grateful to them. They're at least attempting to look after their health so I'm happy to be supportive, but more than that, their purchase of memberships without consistent & frequent attendance effectively subsidizes my membership which I use 3-4 times per week. The resolutions are paying for the wear & tear inflicted on equipment & facilities by the regulars like me.
Today, there weren't so many. I've noticed that raid but not snow will keep gym regulars away. Sunday mornings aren't as popular as Saturdays generally, but especially so for those with weak commitment or unformed habits.
