shiney and new
I guess my gym is doing well financially. Yesterday one of the corners was with blocked off and stacked with boxes and some new equipment. At a glance it looked possibly like Pilates Reformers machines, but I didn’t spend much time thinking about it. Today all the machines were assembled. There must have been at least 10 or 12 of them. The fitness staff was having some kind of training session, I only overheard a bit of it as I was stretching. Turns out the machines are something called a "Gravity Training System". According to their web site ours in the only gym in the country to have them. Upon reading their web site I am a bit dubious, since most of it goes on about the benefits to a clubs bottom line, doesn’t say anything about any health features of the product. But the more that I look at it it does look kinda fun. I'm sure they will be charging extra for the classes, or schedule them at peak times when I can't attend. Maybe I will fork out some cash for personal training just so I can have a go on one.
In other news if for some reason you forget to bring a clean pair of panties with you to the gym, and you have literally just sweat your butt off on the lifecycle? My advice would be to take your pants into the shower with you. Then wash them with some shampoo, throw them in the bathing suit wringer and dry them out with the hairdryer. All the while humming softly to yourself as if it was routine and you always clean your pants this way. That is, if such a thing should ever happen to you. It would never, ever happen to me! How embarrassing that would be, holding your underwear up in front of a hairdryer. No one would see you anyway because they are all changing in the private little cubicles.
