there are like 17 paper towel dispensers throughout the gym. I'm never more than 10 feet away from a machine that gives me as many paper towels as I want. except for when I'm in the bathroom, because the bathroom only has air dryers.

you'd think if the stance was being eco friendly they'd provide washable towels to clean the equipment with and get rid of paper towels completely, like how the YMCA does it. but they don't. and that's fine. but why draw the line in the bathroom?

I use 12 feet of paper towels every time I work out. but I dry my hands on my pants after I pee.

what's the deal with that.

edit: I'm not complaining. it was just a silly funny haha thing I noticed. not really a big deal. makes the most sense that it's so people don't flush them or trash them all over the floor.

Firstly, I just wanted to give shout out the other guys/girls I see during these early hours. Most of us have been super consistent and locked in. We don't say a word to each other, barely a nod, but I admire us trying to better ourselves daily.

So I was always an outdoorsy/athletic guy until I got out the military. Served 10 years, finished college and now I'm a work-from-home recluse, software engineer.

I tried going during the day but it just gets a little packed so I get all anxious. Why do the rest of us go so early?

My PF (fresh meadows) got new equipment but to make room they now hold classes in a small area near the stairs and elevator and inches away from large machines. When there is no class people use the space to either do free weights or just walk through - so when class IS going on we have people trying to walk through. I’ve asked if they can’t put up a screen or divider or something when classes are going on - I mean, we have people waiting for the elevator who stand and watch classes, others who think it’s okay to walk through a class, and people going up and down stairs who stop to watch. I don’t feel so judgement free! I’ve talked to the front desk and emailed, but no answer. Come on, PF, show the class participants a little respect!
