Hi!
I've been unable to update this blog for quite some time. After the easter break I was so in demand to get people in shape for summer, that I did not have a moment to myself!! This was good as it meant I could save up for my trip to Vancouver which is where I am now!
We spent a week in LA with a couple of visits to Gold's gym Venice. It was really weird to see that all the pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger had been removed. Many people go to visit the Mecca because it was where he, and the likes of Lou Ferrignou used to train. It also didn't seem to have as as much of a happening vibe as it did when we were there the previous summer. I guess that is what happens when the big corporations take over and erode what makes a place unique.
Gold's is becoming just another big chain of gyms. It's sad because gym's used to be set up and run by people with a passion for fitness and now they're being taken over by people with a passion for money and who would probably never dream of having a workout!! It shows in the gyms now and in the people who work in them, trainers included! I hope things turn around in time!!
Anyway enough of my ranting! I'm loving Vancouver, I've got my bike and am getting the know the city. Still need a place to live and some people to train!! Once a bit more settled I hope to get back to more regular updates!! A big thanks to all who have stopped by to have a look and left comments!
