Changing gyms

[slat1]

I live in a metro area so every gym is a chain of some sort. I like trying something new once in a while. It could be for a change of scenery, to see if there is a new machine, to meet new people, or just to avoid people. I like options.

I just really really love having a gym where there are a group of regular women who train hard. Even in previous gyms I liked, I was pretty much....it (other than maybe one or two of the more hard core trainers). Which is pitiful. One of the women trainers at my gym has definitely abused the sauce a bit much, which I've actually never seen in person (meaning, she's gotten the masculine features, had some hair loss, etc). I'm almost tempted to do a sesh with her and get her hooked up with EF hahaha. The above female also trains, but individually, and I'm sure she charges out the butt.

Yes, we used to have a few women like that and a few who trained really hard as well. It's back to pretty much just me now and a whole bunch of cardio bunnies. For the most part, people are respectful but occassionally I find I have "teach" some of these new, young guys to treat me nicely. Sometimes they're very quick to steal your machine if you grab a drink..that type of thing.

I deliberately try to not notice anybody in the gym so I don't start comparing myself to them. I have to get in the 'zone' for mental focus, and I am so easily distracted by other people.

I am super competitive.....I'm pretty much the only chick that works out in the weight room in the morning, but there's another lady that is there a lot....she's in good shape....so I always work out harder when she's around - lol! Mostly it's just us two......now, the night crowd is a whole different story. It's almost like a totally different gym.
