We joined a gym!

While we were in America, we definitely had decided we wanted to join a gym while we were here because 5 weeks is a long time to be away from the gym…especially with all the food that would be around us.
After we got here, I was definitely not feeling the urge! But people in the church had worked hard at getting it worked out where we could join the gym for a month, Jeff still really wanted to, and I knew that I really needed to, so we did.

Right after we joined we took our first ever spin class that is lead by Wee John (Little John) a church member. The class is so popular that you have to get a pass to go. One of our friends from church had gone early and gotten us passes and helped us get signed up for membership. Thankfully I got a bike on the back row of the full class. The first fifteen minutes of class I felt hate toward every person that had invited me to the class! By 20 minutes, I felt like I was actually going to survive it, and by 30 minutes, my competitive nature had kicked in and I was hooked! It was intense, but it was such a great feeling knowing we made it through! Wee John told us that it was the hardest class!

This gym is so phenomenal! The locker rooms look like a 4 star hotel and the machines are really great. I’m so glad now that we joined. It feels good to start the morning at the gym again.

The biggest adjustment is that all the weights are in kilograms. If someone has time to look up a conversion chart and send it to me I would be most grateful! Conversions are definitely not my strong suit! I was excited when I saw a conversion chart, but when I went over to it, it converted stones into kilograms…I know even less about stones than I do kilograms!

The gym is within walking distance so I don’t have to learn to drive to get there! One of the only things missing is all my great friends from Total Fitness in Bowling Green! I miss you!
