Joining a Crossfit Gym

16 July, 2008 (13:27) | Family, Fitness | By: Arlen

For those of you on the lookout for signs of the apocalypse, I have one for you that may or may not be mentioned in Revelations.

I joined a gym today.

Well, it was bound to happen after my annual physical last week. Really it was a combination of factors, including the doctor visit, general restlessness, and the years of sitting in front of a computer. Now was a good time to start, since some of the PhD work is leveling out. This way I can get my body in shape to match the take-no-prisoners-killing-machine that my mind has become. Or something like that.

The gym is in Fort Collins, called Emergent Fitness, or EmerFit (though the shortened name reminds me of some sort of seizure). The guy running the place (Chris) has a number of Crossfit classes every day, and in spite of his demonstrated desire to kill me on the first day, I think I’ll be back tomorrow.
