Or maybe the HVAC equipment was simply overwhelmed? Regardless, I don’t miss it.
So I really, really don’t miss the gym. And while that’s not really a big surprise in general, there is more to the story. For sure, to take one look at me you wouldn’t necessarily see gym rat. A more appropriate designation might be something like recliner surfer. It’s true. I do like me some air conditioning while kicking it in my recliner. I won’t lie. That said, I still made it to the gym quite regularly. Of course, blasting me out of the air conditioning was my wife’s job as she is the gym rat. I go so my appetites don’t just completely kill me early. But when the pandemic sort of ended our gym membership, we weren’t through working out. Still, I just didn’t miss the gym. There is just something about working out with a bunch of other people you really don’t know. Plus, the muscle heads and all the shouting was a bit much for me. I preferred the air conditioning in the corner with the treadmill facing the TV. But I never got the sort of HVAC comfort I was looking for. It seemed as though the HVAC cooling just couldn’t quite get to that corner of the gym. Or maybe the HVAC equipment was simply overwhelmed? Regardless, I don’t miss it. Plus, the new gym has HVAC equipment that I get to control myself. My wife and I rounded up some gently used equipment and put in a home gym. It’s in the our finished basement but the ductless heat pump the HVAC company put in is just the right touch.
