An awesome gym and MOAR EXERCISE!!

Today was a thinking day. I spent a lot of time thinking about myself and what changes I need to make in my life to get where I want to be.

Before I start on this huge spiel about myself, let me tell you about the amazing place that I work. Genetics Fitness Club in Warners Bay is in my (admittedly bias) opinion the best gym in the Newcastle area and this is why:

Great staff : Genetics has an atmosphere unlike any other gym that I've been in, it's warm and inviting, the staff are friendly and helpful. They make you feel welcome there.

The classes: I suffer from a chronic case of 'Lazy as hell' and as such doing self motivated exercise, ie; walking on a treadmill, is pointless because I dont push myself at all. Classes on the other hand force me to actually move, someone else is setting the pace that I have to follow. Not to mention the instructors are amazing!

The price: Pretty self explanatory, it's the lowest price membership I've seen.

I work there: This goes without saying, but Monday through to Saturday I'm there in the mornings making awesome coffee. That should be enough of a reason for anybody.

The main reason at the moment that I'm so immensely happy with Genetics is actually quite selfish. They have been amazingly supportive of me and this blog. And as I mentioned in my last post, they've offered me free personal training which I have gladly accepted and start next week. The condition is that I keep at it and dont make excuses which I fully intend to live up to.

Now back to thinking.. I had a chat with Marty today and he was talking to me about how I really need to push myself and up my exercise for the day seeing as I have quite a lot of weight to lose and not an endless amount of time to do it in and I agree. I have so many inappropriatly used hours in the day (DVDs, computer games, cat videos, etc) that I should be using to get closer to my goal. What I'm doing isn't a diet, it's not a get thin quick scheme, and as such I have to change my mindset and my body, and doing a class a day and not eating takeaway is just not going to cut it. I'm going to be an active, healthy person in all facets of my life.

Also, I'm thinking of moving my blog over to Tumblr, let me know what you think!
