Any temptations by your gym

Lesley2901

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!

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.

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!"

RED ROBIN!!!! Are you kidding me? Have to drive by it every single time and it still smells yuuuummmm.

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:

Also on my short walk home, I have to cross through a Dairy Queen parking lot!

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

Uhhh Isn't that because there's a liquor store close to, well, everything in Texas?

The only temptations I find are at the gym already :bigsmile: Great incentive to kick some *kitten* while I'm there...

Mine now is owned by the same people who own the Subway next door. I used to go to one that was next to Dairy Queen.

I would really be in trouble if there was a Baskin Robbins or an Olive Garden!

Mine used to SERVE temptations. They would order pizza every once in a while and set it out for members to share! It was always on a table set up right by the cardio station. :grumble:

One side is a cupcake shop, other side is a coffee shop, Greek restaurant, and a candy shop. And across the street is lePeep. It's a danger zone!

tom_olech

Wierd, the only temptation my gym has is a vending machine in the lobby....oh but there is a tim horton next door, then again that is just because its on a campus and students like coffee

maryloo2011

I once bought a protein shake, made by my gym. They used some kind of syrup-y concoction out of a cardboard container for the flavor. Ummmm.........

Otherwise no, it's surrounded by office buildings

nnylee

Wendys~~~~! Sigh. I walk by it all the time. I love Wendys chili.

zrmac804

There's a Tim Horton's in my gym, but it always has mile-long line-up of loud bratty kids. That's a pretty strong deterrent!

xxTAMxx

I have to pass a Pizza Hut, KFC, McDonalds, Red Rooster, Subway and a Dominos. The smells are crazy. :sad:

The gym I used to go to had an ice cream place, bakery, coffee joint, and a smoked meat shop., Oh, and they used to have a smoothie bar inside.

My gym has a healthy "bistro" and a spa attached to it. So not only am I tempted to have a tasty, healthy, unnecessary sandwich, but I'm also tempted to get a massage and manicure. >.<

mmm le peep is so good. good thing all the ones i've been to are only open during the day and i work out at night.

The police and fire stations

TubbsMcGee

I have to walk partially through a grocery store to get upstairs to my gym....the stairs are right beside the sushi station, and there's always a candy display on the other side of it. If I walk around the corner, there's a restaurant, Starbucks, bar and McDonalds (although thankfully, fast food really doesn't tempt me any more)

DrMAvDPhD

My gym is in a mall complex, so lots of temptations of all sorts lol. But, there is a really excellent, authentic Mexican restaurant next door that is tempting.

NamibianRose

I use to frequent a hot yoga studio that was in a strip mall next door to a frozen yogurt place, a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese buffet, and some local southern fare restaurant. It's also very close to a bunch of other bad for you food places. I heard the Mexican place was really good too =\

cNhobbes

My gym shares a parking lot with Duff's. Local chain famous for it's wings. (I live in Buffalo, these are without a doubt the best wings you'd ever have) I can smell them as I leave the gym.
