Cheetah Gym
With the new move came multiple other new things. New commute to work, new parking laws, and also the need for a new gym. Working out is a must for me and a gym is another must if I'm going to keep lifting heavies for the next twenty years. Steve and I were members of Bally's back in Massachusetts because it was really convenient and cheap. Now it was not convenient and when you would have to factor in either an L ride or driving to the gym it was not so cheap. So we looked around our house. Our choices were a sketchy gym, a gym that turned out not to be a gym but a physical therapy facility, and Cheetah gym.
When we walked into Cheetah gym we were greeted by a short stout flaming gay man. Welcome to Cheetah gym!" he exclaimed from behind the counter. We asked if we could have a tour. He told us we could but we would have to wait a moment while he got someone to watch the desk.
A few minutes later he pep-ed up to us with a clip board and told us we ready to start the tour. To start with I should say that Cheetah gym is a lot nicer then any Bally's I've ever been to. For the most part there are hard wood floor except in the weight lifting area. Large gold framed mirrors suspended from the celling separated each room giving the building a big of a dizzying feel. You never are quite sure if you are looking into another room or at the one you are in.
Our first stop on the tour was the locker rooms. "These are just your normal locker room" he assured us. They were. Next he showed us the "stretching area" which consisted of a lot of mats and some odd platform multiple springs pointing out of it in every direction with pictographs of various yoga poses on it.
"Oh my gawd!" I gawked at the machine in front of me. "Is this the machine from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie? What dose it do?" I asked.
Our tour guide started at me blackly and said he had no idea what the machine did, maybe it was from the movie, but he did know that it was loud when people used it.
Our tour continued with an in-depth description of the person TV's and free towel service but when asked on the use of any the machines we would get a "i don't know" answer.
Despite what was possibly the best tour of a gym ever given (insert sarcasm here.) We ended up joining Cheetah gym.

We had a tour today of St. T's new rec center. For a mere $150 a semester, faculty can partake of all the goodies a private college has to offer -- huge track, weight room, pool, machines, etc. All great except for the cost. :(
Guess I'll stick to community ed or try out B's with Dad.
