I was so motivated for training before I went to Europe then obviously I didn’t do any training while I was away instead walking for miles every day. Since I’ve been back my motivation for the gym has been as low as it’s ever been. Why does this happen?
I’m still going but my workouts are lacklustre and uninspired. It doesn’t help that my gym just doesn’t seem to give a rats arse about it’s members. Equipment takes ages to get fixed and at 6am I’ll walk in to a big pile of yesterdays used towels in the locker room waiting to be dealt with. They also rearranged the gym floor about 6 months ago and I don’t think a weight has been put back in the right spot on the rack since. It’s blatant that no one cares.
Some friends are going to take me to their gym for a trial run over there to check it out. It’s a little more than I’m paying where I am but it’s a great gym and it even has things like handstand classes. It might be just what I need to shake things up and get back on track.

I got to the point about 15 years ago I didn’t want to walk down the street to the gym I was going to. Bought a rowing machine which was the one piece of equipment that was most beneficial for me. Got some free weight, a bench someone threw away and a mat. Was good for a few years of being regular about it. As I aged I let it slide more and more. Now I do ten minutes every five days if I’m lucky.
