Gym-less for now...

TripleFit went down, lease taken over by True, last day 31st May, announced 23rd April.

Since then, when it was confirmed by the mgt with the same letter pasted all over the gym. Having to do the refunds, which was honoured.

Then went straight out and cheong as much of the favourite classes as my work schedule, sleep and days-off could allow. My most intense was 4 classes in a day. From morning until evening - one in the morning, two in the afternoon back-to-back and one in the evening. It was memorable. The Legacy class was an event in itself. Reminded me of the Halloween party two years back. Reunited with the few gym friends who came specifically for the class. We had food and drinks provided after. Alcohol included. Johnny Walker. It was memorable.

Then that last week was pretty tough. I woke up at 5.15am to go for the morning class on a workday, cos I stayed that far away, reached home, slept then got ready for work that started later. Then even did morning and stay out for breakfast then do lunch class then head to work. Thankfully the last two days of the gym coincided with the two off-days for the past two months of Apr and May, thankful to the universe aligning with my wish. I could cheong those two final days and find closure. Went for the classes, suffered the aches, took pics that I didnt post, but for memory sake, chat a bit with the trainers, went for breakfast, stay out hang around, eat lunch etc. A very intense week. 10 classes, my max.

In the 3 days since the gym closure, I've bought one more cork yoga block and a more decent yoga mat, cleaned and wiped off dust from my dormat kettlebells (which are too light) and my free weights (too light too), and one green elastic band left cos the other purple one deformed.... wiped the pull-up bar too.

Will start some exercise soon. Just Tue is not a day for me due to the work schedule. I usually train Mon, Wed and Thur. For now will aim to keep to that and also add in a weekend like Sat/Sun since it is home work-out for the interim. I now know the differences in the muscle groups as well as endurance, strength and flexibility exercises. Must target more major groups first instead of doing small muscles. That will be the bulk of the exercise.
