Just Need to Vent
Good evening everyone! Just needed a bit of time to vent today…
I hit the gym again today (just like every other day) but I’m really starting to get irritated by how busy the gym is getting…
I’ve found in the past few months my workouts are somewhat mediocre and about 1 in every 10 is a GREAT workout. I don’t know what it is… I give credit to those who are there to workout, see results, or there just to keep a healthy lifestyle but seriously, it’s crazy how many people are packed into my gym these days. Not only that, it’s irritating when people are on the machines or using the free weights and just stand there chatting to people. I’m sure a few of you can relate.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve still got the motivation to work my butt off, but it’s getting harder and harder the busier the gym is getting to find a machine or even freeweights… ARG!! Guess it may be time for a gym change. If you’re in the Edmonton area I’d love any suggestions about a great gym to go to that’s not overly busy. Club fit is where I’m at now, but it’s getting crazy and even the trainers don’t seem to have the time to give any attention. All I wanted done was a body fat analysis (which I know only takes a few minutes) but now I have to wait DAYS as I needed to book an appointment. YEESH!!
*sigh* Well that’s it… Just needed to get that off my chest. I guess it’s time to suck it up and figure it out for myself. I’d hate to have to go somewhere else because of the friendship and support I get from other members at my gym, but at what point is it time to move on??? I guess time will tell… 
Have a good evening everyone. Thanks for your patience in reading this; I feel so much better now… Thanks again!

It’s just the new years resolution folk. They will be gone by April. Not that I’m against it, I hope everyone gets fit, but those that just come to talk about it and not do it, need to move to the parking lot and free up some gym space.

My gym is badly clogged from 5:00 to 8:00 but that is when I would rather go. Just a bunch of posers standing around.
Tonight, I was doing squats, 10 sets with one minute rests, really intense, lots of sweat.
In the rack next to me, 3 guys doing curls in the squat rack with a bunch of girls standing around watching. They were doing pitiful weight too.
But they did make sure to stay out of my way.
I do go to other gyms in my area sometimes that aren’t so crowded. Too many people can spoil a workout and hog the stations.
You’ll have to decide when it just isn’t worth it anymore.
