Getting my last workouts in at the gym before Friday departure for Ontario.. I have thoroughly enjoyed the LA Fitness facility, as I have been a regular since its opening day in Aug. Then, it seemed like there would never be an issue for "overcrowdedness"...Well ,during the holidays the perfect storm happened. Ballys was apparently absorbed by LA, college kids were home, and people were getting a head start on their new year fitness resolution. Picture this, Big sweaty guys utilizing every locker ( there are scores of them), buff youngsters, "enhanced" weight lifters, and we older pretenders,(we know who we are), all coming together in a harmonious blend of "excuse me's."
Well it was too much for one fellow...I have heard of road rage, but this took that expression to new heights. I actually learned a few new profanities, and I've heard them all and have used most of them...
I had to laugh. Locker room ettiquette hasn't needed this much patience since we were in 7th grade gym class, when we had a buddy system for locker use!
"This ***** place is too***** crowded, and its ****** brand new!" came the cry of the enraged patron as clothes flew, lockers slammed, sending several us for cover...
Word number one for a time apart....RELAX...
So u miss fitness 19? Have a great trip with Doug. Keep on solid ice. Talk soon Jeff
ReplyDeleteBill -- I just switched from Fitness 19 to Club Julian b/c of the pool and my bone on bone arthritus knee issues...the locker rooms and lockers and changing rooms (at least for the women) rock!! It's wonderful....well worth the twice as much in monthly fees ($40) but I have two free guest passes if ever you want to try...and they do massages...and have a whirlpool and steam room and the equipment/workout floors are open 24/7....
