Brooklyn needs more gyms....
...especially south Brooklyn. Crunch, New York Sport's Club -- their idea of placing locations in Brooklyn is to stick it in Carroll Gardens, Park Slope or Brooklyn Heights. This is great for those who live in those areas but us poor schlubs who can't afford high rents and have been exiled to the depths of the borough are screwed. The only gyms in my area observe shabbas which is useless to me if I want to work out on Friday or Saturday and the Bally's in Sheepshead Bay want's my blood. This means I'm forced to go to the gym in Kensington which leaves a bit to be desired but is the only reasonable albeit inconvenient solution.
Nevertheless I have managed to stick to going nearly every day. I skipped Friday because I wanted to take a night off and I couldn't do it on Saturday because I was out most of the day and the gym was ready to close by the time I got back to Brooklyn. I am so thrilled that I am able to do this again. Since I started I am feeling stronger, and have a lot more energy. I think the extra train ride will be worth it.
