So here’s the promised update. And it will actually be short this time. So the gym hasn’t been way too crowded the last few times we’ve visited. Maybe the new-years-resolution folks have finally given up. When we visited yesterday, my husband and I were the only ones on the treadmills some of the time, and I think we’ve only had to wait for a treadmill on one of the last five occasions that we’ve come to the gym. Also haven’t seen people hanging out on the machines for long periods of time(sitting and talking rather than exercising, I mean) nearly as often, though yesterday we were unable to use a couple of the leg machines because some guys monopolized them(but at least they were working out while talking to each other). All in all, another star is warranted because now we are usually able to excercise as planned when we go to the gym. Maybe this will make us visit more often than once a week(we definitely need to, since being on Unilocal makes me hungry)!
