Well I have finally gotten the go ahead to implement some of the changes to the gym that I have been dying to do. 

My first call was to change the paint. The urine yellow walls looked HORRIBLE. It also reminded me of my middle school in-school suspension room. 

To make matters worse, the gym wasn’t entirely yellow. There were a few random walls painted black, and there was a blue wall in there too. I have no idea who thought painting walls black in a small gym was a good idea, but it was def a dumb idea. 

My new color choice was a very light gray. I wanted to open the place up and make it look bright and clean. White would get too dirty, and gray would be a nice neutral to go with the purple upholstery on the equipment. During the painting process I also began to remove a ton of the pointless and tacky signs that were posted all over the gym. There were advertisements for products that weren’t even carried in house. 

And who can forget all the tacky looking photos that wrapped the ENTIRE gym. Definite overkill. There should be small sections of photos, but to try to cover the entire gym was a horrible move. It also made the walls look much shorter to the ceiling which in turn made the gym look much smaller. 

Here are a few comparison photos…. …

Common Sense…..Patience……Hard Work. Three things that are seeming to become lost virtues. I am not entirely sure how this society has lost its way, but I am sure that we have lost our way. The answer to everything seems to be the quick fix with minimal effort. These feelings of mine apply to many areas of life and society, but for obvious purposes, I will stick to things health and fitness related. Shall we ?

Common Sense. Everyone is over worked (yet still mostly unproductive), under rested, and horribly fed. Everything is quick and on the run. Cheap and fast food is the answer. Who has time for home cooked meals made with healthy ingredients ? Well here’s a secret, sacrificing when it comes to the human body is seldom a smart move. Its so odd to me how a seemingly common sense thing is so overlooked. You only get one body. It isn’t a pair of shoes, or a car where you can just buy a new one. There are serious repercussions for neglecting your body. People eat like slobs, dont exercise, drink more soda and beer than water and are surprised when their body fails them. Then in a last ditched effort, they rush to try and repair years worth of damage overnight….with NO effort of course. 

What amazes me is how naive people can be. Naive in the fact that as they reach their 30′s they feel they can continue the poor habits of their teens and early 20′s. Come on, some of this stuff is hard science, but this certainly isn’t. Known fact, as you age you have to treat your body with more care it will deteriorate at an accelerated pace. …
