Finally…My Kind of Gym!

My weight loss battle trudges on.
The scale is going down,
But at an agonizingly slow pace.
At this rate, I should be thin by the summer of ’09.

I’ve tried to do it without exercise.
My head told me “No, don’t do it”
But my ass is yelling “Get off of me!”
The scale is my only voice of reason.

So today I joined the gym.
Not just any old gym…
Planet Fitness.
Their business model rocks.

The philosophy they adhere to is that they are a “Judgment Free Zone”.
Everyone is welcome and made to feel like they belong.
The free weights for instance, only go up to 80lbs.
Body builder gym rats need not apply.
This place is for the fatties.

Besides every other contraption known to man,
Planet Fitness offers 30 minute circuit training.
I believe this was designed specifically for people like me;
the attention span challenged. .

Leave me alone to get through a series of machines and I can lollygag with the best of them.
I go at my own leisurely pace and rarely break a sweat.

With the circuit training system, green light means go,
The red light means stop and move on to the next machine.
20 stations in 30 minutes…
You’re in, you’re out, and you’re home.

But here’s the best part!
Monday night is Pizza night,
And Tuesday morning you get free bagels!!!
All for $10 bucks a month, no contracts.

As my friend Dini used to say…
“What a deal!”
