Gym Flow : The Christmas Eve Crowd 2020

The parking lot is fairly packed, almost equivalent to a monday’s busy evening hours.

Inside the crowd is made up of a high percentage of in shape regulars getting to it.

The energy is high, I love that.

Just as I had expected from seeing a not empty parking lot on a day with shortened holiday hours.

Thanksgiving morning, Christmas Eve morning – it tends to be packed…and high energy.

With short holiday hours the average level of fitness in any gym goes up, as those who care the most are the ones not sleeping in, getting in a gym session whilst most don’t bother.

I trained without headphones, not even bringing them.

One of the guys working at the front desk got me to laugh as I checked in.

Someone complimented me “looking good bro”.

I brightened a dour day with a personalized “have a Merry Christmas”.

I’ve always enjoyed the gym on holiday mornings.

Almost not going, 45 minutes in and out of upper body, and all that came with it brightened my day.

Merry Christmas!
