Frenchy Gyms

One of my friends bought a membership to the gym here at our school - no it's not free for students. So 5 of us went to the gym last Wednesday. I was really thinking about buying a membership, but I wanted to see what it was like first.

We stopped down Tuesday after class just so I could see what was in there. I wasn't impressed at all. There's one treadmill, 4 elypticals, 4 steppers, a few bikes, and a rower as far as cardio goes. Then there's a nice aerobics room, and downstairs is the weight room. The have free weights and benches and the other basics. It's pretty small. They have a guy there...Guillaume...who is supposed to be like a trainer I suppose? He was really very nice...but also very in your face. I know what I'm doing and I don't need some Frenchy who has no idea what fitness is to be chirping at me in French. If you can't tell, I'm a little annoyed with this whole gym thing :o)

So we went back on Wednesday because they have weekly classes and that night it was an abs/butt class. I was VERY excited. Well this time, there were actually people there working out. No Joke....the girls wear blouses. Like things I would wear to go out to the bar. And pants. No shorts. And they were SO unathletic!!! They were all dying in the class we had and I honestly barely broke a sweat. I'm not in shape at all either...I honestly haven't done anything since volleyball ended in November. I really don't think the teacher had any idea what he was doing either. I miss Diane's classes - where when you're done, you seriously can't walk. After my class with the Frenchy, I felt like I hadn't even started working out yet. It was very very frustrating.

On top of all that, I miss going to a gym and seeing guys. Like real guys. That can lift some actual weight - that I don't feel like I could beat up. And I miss seeings girls...that wear real work out clothes, and can hold their own in the weight room with the guys. I can't handle going there and seeing dudes in their cargo shorts or shorty short swim trunks to lift in. I just can't do it.

I guess I'll have to resort to running outside.

Ew.
