Any Instructors Left?

By Groovybabe • Feb 5th, 2008 • Category: gym, life

Up to 14.3 today again. It doesn’t surprise me as I am really really down at the moment due to certain things in my life. It’s nothing life changing and I will get through it in a matter of days but it is just a case of riding the feelings until they go. Sorry I cannot make more sense. I woke up about 4 times in the night to eat while I was half asleep and didn’t really realise until the morning when it was too late. I am still eating fairly well in the day time though.

I have a gym assessment in the morning. I havent had one since the end of November so it will be interesting to see how my measurements are doing! Remember me saying my instructor, S, left at the end of December? Well they had a new instructor start, T, in a cross-over with S leaving. I have never met T although S informed me she was lovely and had only heard good things about her. Well until this week I still had not met T (mainly because I had time off from the gym) so I was looking forward to meeting her at my assessment. I went to book in an assessment on Monday and told them I think I am with T as S has left now. “Oh, T has left too.” Um okay… so who do I have my assessment with? “We still have M…” Okay, which one is that? “She’s the young girl, oh but she can’t see you until…blahblah… you could see our part-timer E?” Who is she? “She is the really skinny one…” Um okay, not that that matters but yes book me in with her. It doesn’t matter if it did matter because she was the last choice, LOL. My gym is in total disarray! I don’t think I will stay there when I am up for renewal. I have done well with that gym but that was largely due to the personal skills of my old instructor, S. If I lived nearer to the gym she is at now, and their fees were not double what I am paying now I would seriously think about going there when my contract ends. I think it is really hard to find an instructor you click with and that is a shame. But we will see how E is tomorrow when I have my assessment. It will be interesting because I am largely doing my own workout arrangement now. I can’t run as much as I was so I have to adapt the cardio to my needs, they didn’t put abs work in the last assessment thinking that was causing the sciatica and I have added that, and I have changed my weights arrangement to make it more managable. I also don’t bother with the bikes for warm up and cool down as I walk to and from the gym. It will be good to be given some new exercise challenges though.

Groovybabe is 14.11 stones today and feeling in control.
