World Gym is a large fitness chain. Their times vary throughout the week however they do offer 24 hours during the weekdays. The prices vary depending on the membership you obtain; most popular is 4.99$ bi-weekly. My friend and I went together to use the equipment; we followed our regular leg workout.
Before hand I felt very energetic yet my legs were very tired from my day at work. During the workout, I felt super disinterested and out of place as the gym was crowded and overwhelming. Afterwards, I felt hungry and pleased to have worked out despite the conditions.
I learned that I do not like working out with a partner, I was self conscious through out the entirety. I liked the legs workout we followed through and how we both pushed ourselves although we didn’t want to. I disliked the closeness of all the machines, it felt claustrophobic. The women’s section was within the locker rooms and it was the size of a bathroom. Yet, the whole gym felt small even though its quite big.
I’m glad that I tried something new yet I won’t be going there again. Normally working out makes me feel relaxed and happy but I just felt anxious and couldn’t wait to leave. I would not recommend.
Week 2 Questions
I hope to achieve more happiness from working out; clearing my head, releasing stress, and forgetting my problems. I would like to become more confident in myself and the way I look rather than pretending. I would like to accept the way I look and not criticize the imperfections, but to realize that I am putting work into my body and working towards my goals.
Seeing results after some time, feeling the effects of the workout afterwards each time, and looking forward to the exercises would motivate me to continue a specific exercise routine. I enjoy watching videos and further learning about health and what we individuals can do to further push ourselves.
Three things that would refrain me from continuing a regular workout base would be stress of school, fatigue, and feeling like I have no time with the amount of things going on in my life.
