Last night on the way home I stopped by the gym at the owner’s invitation. I have to say that it looks REALLY great. Much better than I expected. It’s a small gym, but totally state-of-the-art by way of equipment. The cardio machines all have personal tvs and they are NICE. I told Denis last night that I could totally see myself doing a full 90 minutes on a treadmill at some point since I’ll have my own tv to watch instead of being forced to watch golf or CNN.
The weight machines are very nice – they even have some pieces of equipment that I had never seen before. Two in particular may become my favorites. One is an ab crunch machine that even with NO WEIGHTS on it is really hard to do. The other is a machine that makes you use your upper body to rotate your lower body. It’s hard to describe, but it rocks.
The owner told me that the security system will be finalized today and that while the gym will be open today it will not be open for the full 24 hours until Saturday morning. So I told him I’d stop by on Saturday to get my security pass. He said at that time I could sign up for my 1 hour personal training session with him so that we can figure out a good program for me to lose weight and get back in shape.
