I am actually trying to loose some weight for a long time now.I had never been to a gym in my life, but I thought that the only way to reduce weight faster is to join the gym. So I did. I joined 10 the Health spa cause it is closer to my house. But I didn’t know that it was the biggest mistake of my life. The timings of the gym starts from 8:00am to 11:00 am, this time is for boys and girls. And the only ladies time starts from 11:00 am to 4:00pm. And 4:00pm to 8:00pm again for both the sexs. AS I am a very shy person, I am pretty much comfortable in the ladies time. First I used to leave my house at 10:50 to reach there by 11:00 but as time went by, I started leaving my house from 10:50 to 10:40 to 10:30 to 10:20 to 10:15. Reason being that the cardio, where they have all the machines for walking and cycling is very small and it gets filled up in like 5 mins. There are hardly 5 tredmills out of which atleast 1 is never working, 1 cycle, 1 stepper and 2 jogging machines.And it is always very crowded, specially at the ladies time. And the worse thing is that in the cardio room, nothing is organised. The aunties specially give alot of trouble for 1 person to get on the machine.Becuase of their silly tantrums you are left waiting for a machine for almost 30 mins. There is a small television the cardio which they never swith on. If asked why not, we are told there is no cable.
The gym also isn’t that big. And if it is a bank holiday u rather stay at home than to go to the gym cause it gets so crowded that u have no space to breathe and it gets pretty stuffy. Now_a-days the bench press bench is broken and nobody cares to repair it. The trainers are horrible, they don’t know anything about working out, they just sit there all the time and keep yakking with each other about jewelery or clothes or films. We are suppose to pick up heavy rods, put weights on them oursleves, use it and then remove all of them and put it back. The trainers don’t even lift a finger. OH! And the music, god!!! If u hear the music they play in the gym, u will fell like kicking each and everyone of them. They play some jhatka hindi songs other wise some stupid english music which at 1 point gets so irritating that u just feel like getting out of there.So if u join the gym, don’t forget to carry your own cd or cassette. I have heard that the gym also offers a diet, but thankgod I didn’t take that, cause I spoke to people who have and they said that the diet they give is totally useless.The cost for the gym+cardio for 6 months is around Rs7000/- and frankly not worth it at all. I am just waiting for my time period to get over so I can join another gym.
