What’s the Gym?

Last summer I was laid off, which kind of took the wind out of my sails. I had little motivation to do much besides look for a job. As you know, I was extremely blessed in September with a job at FamilySearch. My workout routine became extinct. The only exercise I was getting was walking around Temple Square and would occasionally take the 7 flights of stairs to my office. In addition to that, the missionaries here feed me treats almost daily. Needless to say, I've become fat and lazy.

 

I've been looking at different gyms, trying to decide which to join. The Church has a big discount with Gold's Gym, so that was kind of tempting. Last week I had a great epiphany. There is a new Church Office Building in Riverton that has a gym. I decided to see if they would let me visit the gym, even though I don't work in that building. After a bit of paperwork, they activated my badge to give me access. Hallelujah! A FREE gym! I went yesterday to check it out. They have plenty of equipment and at 6 am, there was no one there. Today, I officially started working out again. Again, there was no one there through my whole workout. Not only do a get access to a free fitness center, but I get it all to myself. Having a buddy there would be nice though, so current Church employees, get up and come join me. Non-employees, hurry up and get a job at the Church : )

 

There is no good bus route to get on, so I now drive over and take Trax. It's definitely not as good as the bus because I can't sleep on it. Oh well, they say that if you are getting good exercise you require less sleep, so maybe it'll all work out. I can only hope!
