A crazy entry on gym and love (yuck)
It's funny. I'm funny. See, I've already decided to transfer to Gold's Gym last December. I terminated my P1,500++ per month Fitness First membership of 3 years, for a net P1,000 per month (salary-deductible!), 10-seconds-away gym, certain that the convenience of it would encourage me to workout (more than my usual, erm, once a month visit).
Boy, was I wrong.
Sure, I liked the fact that Gold's was so near I could actually workout whenever I felt like taking a break from my work (Naks, but that has never actually happened.), and the fact that each shower had its own individual changing area. BUT-- I loved the other gym more.
Somehow, I knew I could not give up those mini movie rooms and individual earpieces that distract and entertain me enough to cross-train for at least 30 minutes; the reliable steam room that strips me off my thoughts (NOT my clothes, unlike some people =P) and rejuvenates me; and, the sweet anonymity and sense-of-snob (if there's such a term) that I can conveniently assume towards strangers (I literally bolted out of the Gold's sauna when I saw our Sales Manager enter. Yikes di ba??).
And so, I called Fitness who was more than happy to take me back (I'm sorry I took you for granted, love.). I realized I didn't really mind much the 5-10 minute walk to Fitness Emerald, just so I could be where I'd rather be (Hehe, drama). It's a good thing Gold's is transferable (Thank you, Alvin!), otherwise, I might actually consider being in both, for the meantime. Hmmm.
Ok, please don't be fooled. I am not THAT passionate with working out. I wish =P (Eep, makapag-gym nga bukas. Hehe.)
Isa pang hirit: Para ba itong love? Kailangan maranasan mo muna ang iba, bago mo ma-realize na doon ka dapat sa nauna? Hahaha! I think I'm working too much, I'm getting crazy. =)
