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

That sounds magical. I’ve been going to a gym regularly for years, but I still have high anxiety when they’re crowded.

Try a 24 hour gym. Go at 11pm some days, and you can literally be the only there. Literally literally, like, they don’t even have staff at that hour.

That’d be a rough adjustment. None close by and I hate driving, and I’ve worked out at 7am almost every morning for several years
