Good Idea, Chap: The 24/7 Gym


The inevitability of starting an article with

Ho- Ho- Ho, Merry Christmas everyone!

Is of immense proportions and not something to be reckoned with.

Prior to attempting to bore you to death with today’s spoonful of ever- so- useful bit of information, I should like to wish you all, with all my heart (yes, I do have one), to be healthy and positive.

I can assure you that everything else simply flows from the above (I shall at, at some point, definitely write an article on that too).

Many of you will probably, however, stop me in my tracks by posing, what I consider to be, quite a logical question, namely:

How am I supposed to be healthy with all this delicious and tempting (and junk) food around me? Also, it is very difficult to be healthy when everything in life is so stressful these day; how am I supposed to stay positive?

Fair enough; good point. There is, however, a pretty simple solution: work out.

shan't delve into the various work- outs that you can do as they should be individual- specific.

I shall, though, say that a lot of those around me claim that they cannot go to the gym because they have an 8 till 6 job which does not allow them to do so.

I am often told that the gyms around them were open from very early in the morning, say 6am, and closed at about 7pm which does allow them enough time to do a proper exercise routine.
The above excuses (as any other excuse, really) are, well, BS (as in ‘baloney sandwiches’, of course); you can always go to the gym before or after work.

But let us not go there as the topic of willpower is best left alone for now. Let me familiarise you with The Gym à



Prior to telling you about it, let me stress on the fact that I do NOT get paid to advertise things; I merely do so because I think that they are awesome and innovative and will, thus, be highly beneficial to my readers.

The Gym is a 24/7 gym which has no staff; the only people working there are two self- employed cleaners.

The above idea is brilliant, from a business perspective because:

 è It has regular maintenance but it is done by self- employed people rather than employees

The legal implications and differences between the two are quite significant- employees have a lot more rights against their employer)

    è There is a list of personal gym trainers that you can contact, should you wish to do your own workout routine, specific to your body type

The gym does, in no way, affiliate itself with those trainers; they are, too, self- employed.

 è The membership is on a rolling monthly contract

You can cancel anytime you want to; no need to pay for a whole year upfront- brilliant!

 è It has got separate shower cabins and a large amount of lockable lockers.

All the privacy you need; also, shower cabins are cleaned on a regular basis and are quite hygienic.

 è It is open 24/7

Which eliminates the above- mentioned silly excuses; I, myself, go to the gym at 22:00.

Working out is essential and I shall explain why in due course (on Friday).

Until then, let me once more reiterate to you that you no longer have a valid excuse to slack off in the New Year- find your nearest ‘The Gym’ and get to it!

If there isn’t one; even better- start it up yourself!
