    A pizza hut, starbucks, sushi place, bar, liquor store and a 7-11. There was a bakery as well, but it went out of business.

    The only temptation are the guys working out there! It wouldn't be a problem if there were only one or two, but there are lots of hot guys at my gym!

    A bar INSIDE the gym, all the vending machines, a petrol station shop, a pizza takeaway, a bakery, a deli, a sandwich shop, two chippy's, a chinese, bargain booze, co-op, sweet shop, corner shop and my weird neighbour who likes to give out treats to people for no reason. :sad: Not to mention the kitchen which I have to go through on the way up to my bedroom when I get back. :grumble:

    Edit: Please note, this is all in the 20 minute walk to and from the gym and my house. God knows what there is lurking up the streets I don't go down. :noway:

    I don't have a gym membership, but my running route goes right by a Chipotle and Panda Express, and if I run by as they're getting ready to open, I can smell the food.

    The one at school as vending machines with junk food in it, but hey it's a school and i'm sure the company makes them put those things everywhere. the other gym i'm by has a baskin robbins, mexican, couple deli places, buffalo wild wings, etc.

    College Area, no escaping, haha

    Mine is actually perfectly situated by neat, health-focused things. There's a health store, a Massage Envy and a smoothie place, and my shrink's office is two minutes away. :wink:

    I work in a gym, and upstairs, right before you exit, is a Frozen Yogurt place. The yogurt itself is low fat, but the tempting stuff you wanna pour on top isn't. And after a workout, nothing sounds as good as one of those things. I've managed to not give in yet, but man, it's been close a couple of times :)

    My gym is in a centre which has a swimming pool with slides, wave machine etc so it also has a cafe which serves lots of unhealthy food. The smell of greasy food when entering and leaving the building is definitely not tempting!

    Haha that's great! Though if I'd have worked out more in high school, I never would have needed my shrink.

    My mom told me I shouldn't have ran today because I was stressed about all the stuff I have to do for my vacation and I was like, "Mom, running is the only thing that has kept me this sane so far!"

    On my 5 minute walk to the gym I have to pass 7 restaurants and 2 pubs. However the worst thing is that my gym has a cafe area, it has just been refurbished and to publicise it they have hung huge 4ft full colour photos of food along the wall above the treadmills. The other day I was running along with a close up of a plate of pasta in front of me, maybe they think its like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey? :laugh:

    It seems like every gym I have gone to in Texas has a liquor store close by.

    Haha!! Oh really? Then I am going to the wrong gym....

    No, the only business by my gym is another gym that I also go to. LOL

    Mines is right in the shopping center by the mall and there is a mexican food resturant, Red Lobster, Chilli's, Outback steak house, Apple bee's, Elephant Bar, Romano's Macaroni grill & a Olive graden. So as soon as you walk out of the gym those resturants are then first things you see
