so, i've been going to the gym all week. i used to be in really good shape and now i am a pile of weak flab. the most clear difference between this gym and the new york sports club, is that the men at this one are not predominantly gay. (i was going to nysc in chelsea though, so that explains that). guys look at me and do this "hey" nod thing like i am into the beefy weightlifter look. i am the chubby girl in my beck tshirt and sweats. reading a book while i work out by the way. clearly not wanting to be bothered. there is also a gym phenomenon that i first witnessed back in 1998. i was working at an architecture office that overlooked a gym classroom, during college. during the day there were a good deal of overweight people taking classes. my friend haley said it was because they were embarrassed to go during peak gym hours. that is so fucked up. apparently the fit, attractive people hang out there after work so the chubbies feel bad. which is awful. i have now gone to my gym at different times and it mostly seems to be out of shape hipsters using the machines no matter when i go. but yesterday when i went at 5 there were more people who seemed to live in the gym than usual, just a few more, but more. which does make me feel a little bad about myself, but more because i am so freaking out of shape. i just figure the more i go, the less bad i will feel about that. i just read the whole time i'm there anyway. |
