My work gym
I knew it was a good idea to keep reading the work club newsletter even if, week after week, no item caught my attention. Because finally yesterday there was an offer to try out the work gyms for free for four weeks.
As this comes at a time when I do not have much time to go to my gym (which is one tube stop away) at lunchtime, I bolted out and into the next building and fifteen minutes later I was a member.
I went at lunchtime and although it's just a small room with some cardio equipment, a few weights machines and a handful of dumbbells, I managed to have a good workout. The place was not busy (most people were running, cycling or climbing stairs). I worked out slightly differently because of the different weights, bench angles and machines. But best of all, I went from desk to press bench in a little over three minutes.
I would not have it as my main gym membership (my main workouts are Saturday and/or Sunday, when I have more time), but I might justify paying the additional (and very reasonable) fee in the future so that I can make the most of even a spare half hour at lunch.
