The other day I was so upset when I went to the gym and saw this flyer hanging on the front door, announcing the closing of the gym for HALF YEAR, due to refurbishment! I was like: WHAT???
I signed a one year contract and all of a sudden the gym closes down! I got in a terrible mood....but good things come to those who wait and we should never get upset when something doesn't work out because there may be something better in store for us!
In fact, first thing I did when I came home from my work out was to immediately look for other options in town. Now, when it comes to the gym I am quite demanding. I got extremely spoiled in Italy and in Sweden with top class expensive gyms with top of the line equipment etc...and I would like to keep more or less the same standard...I am demanding in the sense that in addition to great equipment I also want a nice, spacious environment that motivates me to work out...a place where I could spend hours and not feel in a rush to go home...you know the feeling? If you enjoy the environment there are bigger chances to spend more time there and therefore to work out more, or craving the gym when you are home or somewhere else. This is what I want! In addition to that, being a true Gemini, I like variation...I don't like routines, I always need something to keep me stimulated and going. Therefore I am interested in classes and swimming in addition to the normal work out...and if the gym even has a SPA even better! Honestly I couldn't imagine I would find all this... I thought that my gym in Sweden was the best ever and nothing could compare to it...well it is still the best but today I found VIRGIN ACTIVE HEALTH CLUB, very close to my house and it fits all my requirements! I am over the moon!!

I didn't even know that gym was there!! It was well hidden, like a pearl in its shell and I passed by loads of times, but since it is inside a very busy building complex filled with restaurants, café and cinema and people walking about, I never really seen the sign for it!
Well I was very impressed when I visited this gym today! The work out area is very spacious, the machines are Technogym like in Italy and Sweden ( I love them!) and the cardio/weight lift area has a stunning view over the artificial ski-slope! So you can actually see people skiing and snowboarding while you work out!

OMG OMG OMG I love this gym!!! I must join them immediately!! I already filled in all the paperwork, just waiting to hear what is happening with my other membership at my old gym and then start to work out! :D Yayyy I am a happy woman!!!
