6 gyms in just over 6 months:
- Planet Fitness Centurion
- Planet Fitness Cape Town Waterfront
- Pure gym Fullham
- Pure gym St. Paul's
- The Chronicle Aparthotel gym
- Pure gym Swiss Cottage
(We can add at home training to that)
Just going with the flow π
It can be tough, being unsettled, but I see it as a huge opportunity to learn and to grow from my experiences. In fact, it's kind of the only way. Change is inevitable. And experience gives you different perspectives.
It's been incredibly interesting seeing how different gyms are managed, how the layout is functionally (or sometimes not so functionally) designed, how the gym culture changes between different regions, and how the trainers within each gym operate.
Each gym has it's own unique positives and negatives. As in life, nothing is ever perfect, but it's about what you make with what you've been given or what you can create.
The latest gym (Swiss cottage) has a WHOLE FLOOR dedicated to ladies only! And wow, it's interesting to see how the whole culture changes. Again, positives and negatives. But the freedom I see in how the women move I have never experienced before at any other gym. It is quite eye opening. Girls are less scared to try hanging from bars and to be a bit "rougher". But simultaneously there is a general courtesy all around that creates a certain kind of peace.
Interested to explore a bit more β¨οΈ
