I'm shallower than I thought

inulroGot to the gym this morning to find that it was full & there were waits for everything.
As my membership is for all the South Gloucestershire council gyms, I decided to finally check out the newer one at Longwell Green as I had access to the car.
I knew that it's newer and nicer, as well as just a lot bigger so even when it's busy there's always machines available, but I didn't think that it would make any difference and couldn't be bothered to go that little bit further away.
Turns out that I'm much more cheerful about working out in a more pleasant environment. And it's a lot *more* pleasant than I expected it to be. I'd go so far as to say it's Very Nice Indeed. You get a memory stick to put in each machine and it records all your workouts for you, which for a stats geek like me will motivate me no end!
The pool and changing area are so much nicer I'm suddenly a lot more serious about getting my vision sorted out so I can start swimming again.
So I got home and told Jason that I'll be needing the car on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays as I shall be going up there all the time.
I'm not sure that I'd pay more money for a nicer gym, even if I had more money (which I don't), but as it's the same as what I'm paying already it's a bit of a no-brainer.
