When my wife brought up the idea of dumping the gym membership, I was secretly thrilled.
It was a few months into the start of the pandemic and we hadn’t even been back inside the zone controlled HVAC of the office much less the gym.
I think that both of us were hopeful that Covid would get knocked down once the summer heat hit and we could get back to normal. That wasn’t the case of course. So once the air conditioning was on night and day for the summer, it was time to make the call on the gym. Our membership renewal was up and we decided to just wait until things changed a bit with the virus. Honestly, I was glad. My wife is so into the gym and it shows. She’s in great shape and she’s just so full of energy. I’m just not the gym type really. It takes a lot of motivation just to get me in the gym 3 or 4 times a week. For sure, the health benefits make the effort quite worth it. Yet, I was never comfortable working out with so many other people and I really wanted more air conditioning as well. I knew my wife would figure out an alternative to the gym while we were stuck at home inside the air conditioning during the pandemic. And the new home gym was all her. She started shopping online for locally used exercise equipment and getting great deals one at a time. The basement was the spot for it so I took it upon myself to call the HVAC company to have them install a ductless heat pump in the basement. Now, I love working out.
