Firsts can be exciting. Definitely after not doing it for a while. So you work it for 20 min…read more
Then you start to think you can endure an extra hour, while normally you give up after 45 min of... well any activity. You even dare to take of your shoes, go barefoot (i prefer to keep my socks on). You never knew you could bend that way or even that far. And the man who's telling you to do so is actually really nice and funny. You actually want more action, so you do it for another 20 min, you're on a roll!
12 hours later and you can't even laugh properly because it hurts. Already. Ugh you're such a wuss...
In case you're wondering, I am talking spinning and Body Balance. Of course, whatelse? :)
On a serious note: it's a huge gym, with a zilion machines, a sauna and 3 seperate rooms for all those BodyWhateva classes. It looks quite clean although i did see some cobwebs and pile of dust on top of the lockers.
Tip #1. Wear short sleeve shirts.
People are not allowed to wear tanktops when working on the machines apparently so I had to borrow a shirt (nice service!) During all those BodyWhateva classes however you can wear those skanky tops (is that the reason? Gotta find out)
Tip #2. Check upon arrival if the classes are really fully booked. The app (!) said it was, but apparently it wasn't, i could book it on the spot.
Tip #3. If you've got a spot, the reception needs to hand you a card which you hand over to the instructor at the beginning of your class. I didn't get one so i had to go back and forth for a shirt and then the card. Great work out though. ;)
I wouldn't know how packed it gets during the day, I went between 9.30 - 11.30am. Not too quiet but defo not busy.
The classes are predominantly in the AM and after 5pm. I reckon that is prime time.
Some of the staff (at least 2) cannot hide their dislike (or pure disinterest) which is a pity. A smile would suffice, fake it till you make I'd say. Most of them are helpful and friendly though. Jet for instance, seems like she's got the right spirit, very chipper!
You just have to try and avoid those angry birds and enjoy your work out. Curb your enthusiasm though, it might hurt within 12 hours ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yours truly
