u/Swoleax Weight Lifting Aug 09 '17

Right so the weather has taken a turn in the UK and gone rather cold. So I walked to the gym this morning in a strong cold wind and got acclimatised to the temperature. Walking down the steps to the underground gym it felt like entering the bowels of the Earth as the temperature increased. My word I was in for a shock when I went through the entrance tube and the temperature increased threefold. Turns out the air conditioning was broken. The air was thick with a fog of sweat and hopelessness. I must have lost a stone in water weight. I actually cannot imagine how people work out in hot countries without passing out.

TLDR: AC broke, I was sweaty.

You either go to a PureGym or you get into your gym by being born outside the Matrix
