As with any club, there were the usual cliques and small groups of people, the gym fanatics who went everyday or every other day without fail. They seemed to know everyone, from the other gym-goers to the fitness instructors.
I've met a few nice people and met only two people I really can't stand, but that's another story for later.
Let's see, new nicknames are now required. There's a Madonna equivalent. She's probably the fittest girl bar one in the entire gym. She's a hard core Body Combat fanatic and thinks nothing of doing three back to back group fitness classes in a row. Her weights in Body Pump are as heavy as the boys. Phenomenal. Plus she has a fabulous butt! Grin. But the weights take their toll and show on her muscular arms and shoulders, something I must be careful to stay away from! She's always in the gym!!
Then there's a scary-looking (but she's actually quite nice) Hilary Swank equivalent, whom I shall nickname Hilary, who is also a Body Combat fanatic and shouts and yells all the punches in the class. She's the one vying for the title, fittest gal in the gym! When she's not there, the class is mysteriously, almost sadly quiet! She packs a mean punch but don't see much of her apart from in Combat.
In terms of boys, there are few and only 2-3 in Combat whereas the girls are probably 20-30! But there's Joaquin, a Mexican guy, who's quite sweet and he attends Combat and has recently got me going to Body Balance! He's lovely and quite separate from the other cliques which is nice.
Then there's Blue, the only other guy in Combat. He's been there since the gym opened and he is also a regular gym-goer. He knows all the girls in the clique and was the most approachable one. We'd smile and say hi but somehow started talking and through him I'm slowly getting to know the rest of the clique even though I still prefer talking to Joaquin. I never liked being part of a clique.
That's it for now! And lh, I will find a suitable picture to post up! Haven't actually had any photographs taken since my gym phase started because my social life has dwindled tremendously! x
