The gym seemed to stay busy much longer than years passed. But now that there’s only a few days left in the year, the gym is a ghost town. I hit the gym at about 11:45a today (Sunday) and there were only about 10 people in the entire place, which was nice because I didn’t have to wait for a machine, or change around my routine if someone was on a machine I wanted to use. I’ll enjoy it while it lasts though, because come January 1st, I expect that place to be packed. It’s usually mostly the cardio machines with people looking to stick to the New Year’s resolutions and meet some weight-loss goals, but yeh, it’ll be hectic.
I don’t have any particular weight training goals for 2009, although I should probably set a few before the year is up. My wife and I are having our first baby in May, so once that happens, I imagine I’ll have far less time and opportunity to be at the gym. Although with the gym being one of my few escapes, it might turn out that 2009 ends up being one of my strongest years yet.
I hope everyone has a happy and prosperous 2009. Thank you for helping make this website succesful!
