| - I spent the holidays in Arizona with the wife's family. When I found out they had a UFC nearby, I got excited! I thought to myself, "This could be great! A solid workout while on vacation!"
Ya know, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed when I walked in. I was expecting a full size gym, like the one at home in Torrance. But I was already committed and I wasn't going to go looking around town for a full size gym. Plus, the staff was extremely welcoming and enthusiastic. Make no mistake, I was there for the weight room. I'm not into MMA, Tae Bo, Pilates or Crossfit or other trendy gibberish; just pushin weight.
So when I saw that they had a weight room that was better suited for a hotel fitness center, I found myself kind of bummed! But the more I thought about it, they had everything that I really needed. Back to basics! So I worked out there for the week and had a really good time. The staff was super friendly, the music was good, SportCenter was constantly on the flat screens, and the members were pumped about their gym. What looked to be a crappy gym week actually turned out nice!
What I didn't get what, what's up with all the wasted space? They could easily fit 9-10 more machines in there. Why not make that place a real gym? And finish the Octagon!
See you next time!
