Commentary: So I’m in the gym working with this huge weights station that must’ve cost a lot – and I understand that, not really because it’s huge and all, but because there are signs all over the thing shouting
“Please do not bang the weights!”
Sure. Alright.
And through all the times I’ve used the thing I’ve never “banged the weights” (pun not intended) when I let go of the various bars and things that I’m supposed to push and pull on.
So today I’m using the thing that works for the pectorals and I accidentally let go of the thing too soon because it’s my last rep. The weights bang – not as loud as I’ve heard users do before – and suddenly this guy comes out saying
“Well sir I think the main aim of the game is not to bang the weights. Can you try not to keep banging them”
…
Caught in a feeling between annoyance and laughing, I just replied with a no worries and continued with my life. I mean that would probably have been the first time I’ve ever done that — rrrr.
Anyway, when I’m down in Melbourne (going to uni there) I won’t have free gym access at all … : ( I’ve been looking at the different places like the Melbourne University Sport facilities and the City Baths — but club membership for a year costs a bunch! If anyone’s from Melbourne and happens to be reading this, help! Is there anywhere I can go that’ll be cheaper…
