Who knew there were perks to unemployment? Minus the obvious of course, which would include things like a lot of free time, waking up whenever you want, etc. Instead, I received a perk from the sales manager at Oz Fitness on Spokane's South Hill. I went in there the other day to see if they were hiring for a front desk person. The answer was nope but the sales manager wanted to sit down and chat with me anyway. I filled out an application and as he looked over my resume and we just got to talking. He couldn't believe that I had never been the member of a gym before. So he offered me a perk, or more like a challenge: One month free at Oz, if I wanted. I thanked him but left without taking him up on it.... Then I chatted with Robert.
Robert is my wonderful mailman. He is obsessed with my dog, The Missaroo, and always asks me about her. On Wednesday he asked me if I had just come from the gym ((I was in my sweat pants and just home from getting my nails done)) I said no, I wasn't the gym kinda gal. Turns out Robert also works out at Oz. OK I decided I'm going back in there and asking for my one month free. So I did.
Today, on unemployment day four I hit the gym at 8am. I took a class, senior fitness ((yes as in senior citizen)) but these gals were a far cry from the Sit and Be Fit crown. I had so much fun with them, you bet I'll be back on Tuesday. But before then, I'm hoping to hit the gym again tomorrow in another class. Who knew I'd ever be one of those gals who "goes to the gym"? Sure, one of my main motivations might be that I was told it is a great place to network, but I really did have a good time too!
Today I learned that I love going to the gym, Every. Single. Day. ((for now))
