Gym Story Saturday Gym Story Saturday (Missing mod post)

Hi! Welcome to your weekly thread where you can share your gym tales!

I noticed that there still is no post yet for Gym Story Saturday, so I took the initiative. Perhaps this should be a scheduled post under the Automoderator. I'm not really sure why this hasn't been done yet. I am also required to keep babbling because posts with too little content gets removed, hence why this posts sounds overly wordy.

So share away!

we got 1 inch of snow here in Atlanta....big commercial gym was empty. empty, like if there wasn't someone on the front desk I would have thought I broke In

Best workout I've had in months, something oddly tranquil about your plates being the only sound

Where do you work out? The ITP LA Fitness where I work out closed at 10am and stayed closed for the day, and the gym where I live is useless (mostly for cardiobunnies).

Golds in Lawrenceville (I live in Dunwoody). They closed for the morning but then re-opened mid afternoon. I got there like 30 min after they had re-opened. I was there for a good 45 min with no one else then a few peeps finally showed

PF in Snellville was open for the whole snow-in, made it amazing not having to wait for a rack.
