Equinox: What's The Deal?
Typically, my workout schedule looks like this:
Monday:
AM - Equinox
PM - Bikram
Tuesday:
PM - Equinox
Wednesday:
PM - Bikram
Thursday:
PM - Equinox
Friday:
AM - Equinox
PM - Bikram
Saturday:
PM - Bikram
Sunday:
Rest, read paper and magazines and shop... Because that's how God wants it.
This week, though, Monday and Friday were the only days I was going to get to the gym. I realized this earlier in the week when I found myself exhausted after work a few days. I've made it to every Bikram class on my schedule, but the gym workouts had to be put on hold on Tuesday and Thursday.
So I got up this morning to hit the gym for my 5:30am training session. I was up at 5am. And I was out the door 20 minutes later. However, when I got there, I was surprised by a delay...
The gym was not open.
This is the second time this has happened in the past month. Whoever is supposed to open the gym at 5:30am doesn't show up. So all the 5:30am regulars and the trainers stand in the lobby of the building, waiting. And this means that everyone's workouts get cut short. And if you meet with a trainer, like me, it means you either have to do a shorter session (but still pay the same amount) or you have to reschedule... Which sucks for the trainer.
My trainer and I decided to just go ahead and reschedule, since no one showed up till just before 6am to open the gym.
It's such a pain in the ass though. I only had a certain amount of time to work out this morning, so I just decided to bag going in to get a quick run on the treadmill. I'm covered for a workout today, since I am going to Bikram. But I would have liked to have trained.
