I got to Gold's at 5:15 to get ready for my Body Pump class. The instructor was there a minute or 2 later. Problem was, they could not find a key for the workout room anywhere. Get this......a multi-million dollar facility only has 1 key for their workout room and somebody took it home last night. I asked the front desk guy and he said it has been that way for a year. REALLY??? You can't copy a key in a year? We finally got started 15 minutes late so I was behind for the morning. I did Body Pump for 1 hour and then ran 10.00 on the TM.

Despite my rant....I absolutely LOVE this facility, I just think it's crazy to have a situation like that. It's the small details that make the difference between Success and Mediocrity.

What do you do in this class!

Kory,

We lift weights for a full hour. It's very high repetitions. The only breaks you get is when you add or subtract weights from your bar between different tracks. It works everything.

That's cool. Part if me wants to do that and the part is just continue to run outside. It's hard to run alone in the cold anymore. It's nice to exercise around others.
