Finally!

Ever since I moved, I've been missing my old gym for multiple reasons. The equipment at my new gym is older and lower-quality - and there's less of it. Also, the new gym opens half an hour later and I have at least twice the drive to get there from what I had, so my actual workout time has been significantly reduced. I miss the regulars from my old gym...and I really miss the desk worker. He was always sunny and would greet me with jokes and stories, etc.

Naturally there are tons of regulars at the new gym too, they're just not the same and have been hard to crack. But, as of recently a lady who's usual locker is only a few down from mine has started including me in on convo while I'm changing my shoes, stashing my coat, etc. So that's nice. And even better, the new desk worker has started to greet me with my name! I know it sounds ridiculous, but it means a lot. I think we really broke some ground when I lost my membership card and had to get a new one :P I'm sure she's just a more reserved person from my old desk buddy, but it's nice to know that she sees me as a regular - more than just giving me the same locker every day.
