So I've joined a gym...

Actually, I joined the gym in July.

I have joined a gym before. This was many moons ago when I lived in Sydney. I ended up going twice and never returning.

This time, I have picked a gym that I have to walk past to and from work. Not only that, when I walk past, the receptionist and trainers can see me walking past and have previously made comment on what time I come in to work, when they don't see me, etc.

So far this has worked well as, apart from the initial month, my attendance has averaged 4-5 times per week.

The gym has quickly turned into the Happiest Place in the World for me. I like that it's not work, derby or home and there are no attachments to work, derby or home there. All the staff are weird, which is possibly why I fit in well. i do think that I completely outweird them all but I don't like to talk myself up too much.

Most importantly, when I go in on and am especially cranky or stressed, the trainers offer to let me punch them.

Now that's service.
