Well, kinda. Still 24-hour fitness but different location.
I was going to one close to my kid's middle school. Biggish gym. Almost never packed. Same folks up there all the time. Pretty good in that way.
She's now in high school, that gym near her middle school is old and crusty. AND they had the nerve to get notably sloppy with not cleaning it. Like bathroom urinals not getting cleaned for a week, running out of paper towels on the floor so it isn't as easy to wipe a machine, all of that kind of stuff.
But the straw for me? They changed to not opening until 8 AM on weekends. I'm normally at the gym NLT 7 even on the weekends.
Now I'm at a different 24-hour fitness that is less close to my house but still not a crazy commute. 12 minutes instead of 6. Sometimes it is more packed than I would like but its easily a newer, nicer, cleaner gym so its a no-brainer/should've done it sooner situation for sure. And real talk, many of the womens in there are the magnificent (with the sensational style).
And funny enough, I see several people from the old gym in the 'new' one. Like we all switched around the same time (week before Christmas).
Besides that:
- More free weights - Kicking up intensity of cardio - Doing more complex movements as I continue to drop weight. - I'm going to make myself play a couple of pickup games at least a couple of times a month. It'll be half-court but the 'regulars' at this gym seems to run reasonably intense games (decent defense, some physicality, grown man screens, some dudes will clearly 3-point shoot you to the house if you don't close out on them FOR REAL). - I'm also going to do more active recovery (yoga, extensive stretch routines) on the 2 days I'm not usually going to the gym.
