I joined a month ago and haven’t set a foot in the door yet.
I food networked my way through the pandemic and lost my old waistline. And I’ve looked everywhere for it except the gym.
I’ll go eventually, I promise. But really, does all of that equipment have to look so aggressive?
Like, how about the occasional pop of colour, some area rugs, cushions, a floor lamp or two for more forgiving lighting.
