    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
    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!

    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 :D

    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!

    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. >.<

    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)

    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.

    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 =\

    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.
