resolutioners...

let me frame the context of this rant before i continue: i help manage a large fitness facility that produces a gross (literally and figuratively) amount of money each month. i hate the gym....during the month of january (outside of the fact that sales are literally quadrupled).

if you have invested even the slightest bit of time working in or around a gym during the month of january, i admire you. for it is, during this wintry set of weeks, that the gym doors burst at the seams. 73.289% (totally legit percentage - i looked it up) of the obese population rushes to start their new year on the right foot. very few of these resolutioners have stepped those feet into any sort of gym before this day. these ignorant, babbling folk, however, never hesitate to inform everyone that they needn't any nutritional or exercise guidance. no - they are avid watchers of the biggest loser. and, thus, see the need to tell me how i should be training and furthermore, eating. this, at a minimum, infuriates me.

add to this...intrastaff tension, more complaints than one can comprehend, exponential increases in gym traffic and its resulting filth and what is the result? a formula for chaos and drama. ahhh, january how i loathe the.
