Starting off, I'm 26, I'm in really great shape, and I currently work out at my personal trainer's studio gym.
The problem with this is that between this and my job I see absolutely nobody within the same generation as myself on a daily basis. My job doesn't have me interacting with anybody in person and this "gym's" clientele are mostly overweight or old/injured adults who are seeing my trainer to rehabilitate themselves.
The studio gym is nice and all in the sense that I don't really have to wait for equipment and it's usually pretty empty throughout the day, but I'm starting to get irritable because the only women I see these days are on Tinder or Bumble. With the way the bars are socially distant and required seating (at least here in Delaware) it makes it pretty impossible to meet these girls unless they have a free chair and I just sit down with them (which I'm not opposed to, just doesn't happen often).
There's a really nice gym just a few minutes away from this gym called Edge Fitness that mostly panders to people in my age bracket and often has quite a few people there at any given time. The potential downside is that with so many people I would probably have to wait for certain pieces of equipment since my routine is entirely based around supersets for each body part.
Anyway, here's the math. I pay my trainer $29 every 2 weeks when I come in to get weighed and assessed, along with a year fee of $235 I paid at the beginning of February. This other gym charges $10/mo but has 2 different $50 charges early in the membership along with $15 for some sort of other fee. That comes out to around $235 as well, then would just be $120/year after that.
I just wonder if this would be potentially worth doing, if only because I'm socially starved and don't see that changing much until COVID restrictions get lifted here.
What do you think?
