Huh. Apparently I just won some sort of free trial thingy at a gym right near work. I'm not entirely sure what it is, because I didn't actually read the box - it told me to enter my business card, so I did! I think it's just a walk-through, hard-sell deal, but I forgot to ask if I would need actual gym clothes - Scott said something about evaluation, but then his name was called over the intercom, and I could feel him rushing to get off the phone.

Here's what I hate about gyms: you always have to make such an instant decision. Join now, or we double the price! I'm not good at decision-making at the best of times, and I'm afraid I'll get bullied into joining the gym without really having a chance to decide if it's better than my current gym. I need time to ruminate, yo.

Oh well. It'd be nice to have a gym right by work, but it'll be full of Bay Street financiers, which might be a little scary.

Unrelated heads up: if you get an email in the next day or two from "people covered in mad fish" with attachments, don't delete it, it's from me. I'm sending you a story, if you've still the inclination to look at my original stuff. And that's the name on my gmail account. Just so you don't freak. :)

Hee. Danke. :)

Don't think of it as scary - think of it as a way to find a sugar daddy.

...and if they're not wearing their suits, I might even be able to tell them apart.

Don't let them intimidate you. Just say, "If you want me to join, and give my $30 a month to you, then you better lay off the pressure, because I have a good gym, and you're not convincing me that you're better." And then if they get nasty, you'll know it isn't the place you want to be, and you'll walk out feeling vindicated. :)

All right.

you know how i deal with stressful gym issues? eat little and don't go there. ever. at all.

Which gym is it?

[listersgirl]

Good Life in Union Station. You are (were?) at a Good Life, weren't you?

[sarcasma.livejournal.com]

Yeah... it costs me more to go to Union though, I think, so I've never been there. Since I paid them a bucket o cash at the start it's super cheap now per month, which is nice, and I can certainly vouch for the facilities at the branches I've been to.

I've been with GL for almost two years now and so far I've been really happy there. I especially enjoy that my membership gives me access to all their facilities. I can go to the women's only near my house when I'm busy or to the slick downtown branch (with the pool!) when I have a little more time!

[listersgirl]

The only real downfall that I can see is that they don't have a branch anywhere near my house, and since I don't have a car...

I don't see myself wanting to transit 45 minutes each way on the weekends just to go to the gym.
