Took the Plunge and Joined a Gym

Filed under: Recreation, Sports, heath, weekend — J5 @ 5:09 pm

Davis Square is opening up a new Boston Sports Club and I finally decided to join. The tipping point came last week during the snow storm when I slipped and fell down a couple of stairs at the Porter T stop. Usually I would walk away pretty embarrassed but non worse for ware. This time I thought I actually might have injured myself. In the end I slept it off and felt fine the next day, if a little bruised, but I realized sitting in a chair programming every day wasn’t getting me any healthier. We already have a fitness room at our office but I figured having trainers around and a place to go when I am home and on weekends will get me a bit more motivated. We will see how long this lasts but as things go these days I had to sign a contract so they’ve got me for a year. Being the type of person who skips the ‘fillers’ at a buffet just so I feel I got my money’s worth, I think I will be utilizing the gym quite a bit.

  1. Weird–I just joined the same gym. I didn’t realize you lived in Davis. If Bryan hasn’t moved yet, you should convince him to live in Davis, too.

  2. Actually I live in Porter but am moving closer to Alewife and becoming roommates with Bryan. It is slightly closer to Davis I think but hey if I can’t take jogging a mile to Davis every day I have no right joining a gym ;) I’ll suggest it to Bryan as it would be nice to get a crew together to keep motivated.

  3. Nice! It’d be cool to get a posse together to exercise. Though… I’m embarrassed to say that in high school I biked across the country and right now I don’t really have the endurance to bike anywhere. So that’s my reason to join the gym.
