Visiting Alaska
I am interviewing in Alaska right now, and I don’t know if anyone else does this, but one of the first things I did when I got to Anchorage was see what the gym’s are like. Wow do I appreciate Arizona! They don’t have much competition here. There’s a huge chain called the Alaska Fitness Club and I guess it’s around $80.00 a month minimum for a membership! Crazy! Then this other place called PowerHouse Fitness was so awesome. I was blown away when I walked in and immidiately saw two of the most ripped female bodies I’ve ever seen. I’m not kidding, one of the women I found out was a professional bodybuilder, and the other I don’t know but she has the most chizzeled abs I’ve ever seen. I mean I’ve been in 3 competitions and nobody compared to her when it comes to abs. Then looking around more I see several bodybuilder looking men. We can tell the difference right away guys, and I can tell by looking at the legs. A guy with a big chest and arms, ok he works out. But when a guy has that and muscular legs, calves, and good strict form than I think he must be a bodybuilder. And there were a few. I scope out a gym to see if I fit in there, if it’s trendy or people who are serious about weightlifting. I look for females or people that could give me good advice and who are friendly. I don’t look to be socializing in my gym all the time, but moving to a new area is difficult and to get a grasp of what the locals are like I go to the gym. Basically I was surprised that in Alaska I saw more fit people in this gym than in my gym in Tucson. You would think people here would just get fat and not care how they look since they’re always covered up. That’s what I get for judging I guess!
