Now How Exactly is "This" Gonna Work Out?

Typical, right? Temptations lie at every corner in life but this is ridiculous! Our most popular gym in our area but with a damn KFC right next to it! That won't (and can't) work for me.

Though to be fair, PureGym is gaining recognition fast in the UK. I'm sure when I put my workout plan in action, this place will be the one helping me towards acheiving my goals. So today, I popped in to get all the necessary questions out the way as well as dealing with some trivial paperwork. They need ID and all that which I'll get around to soon enough.

Though what surprised me the most was the number of gym enthusiats pouring out the centre, straight into the building you see next door. Though I guess they're better than me as much as they've actually "had" a workout. But if you don't purify every aspect of your life when embarking on such fitness endeavours, surely you're missing the point, right?

Lol, maybe I'm wrong but the addiction that is "fast food" is gonna stop as far as I'm concerned. And I mean cold turkey. Even if I have to induced myself into a "depressive" state to do it, I'll make it so.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to starting up a great new lifestyle change. God know, it's a long time coming...

Around me, almost every GoodLife Fitness has a shwarma restaurant next door.

Very similar story. People go for a workout, then exit the door to walk directly in for a shwarma.

hrmmmm.... I think I know what I'm having for lunch now.

I haven't started yet. So, KFC it was. Hoping that will change soon... :)

It is indeed placed there knowing that people get out of the gym kinda hungry, at least some do. But if you know why you worked out, and how it denies all the calories you just burned there, you will not have any shaworma for post workout meal.

Tbh i know plenty of gym goers that go to KFC, some of them have great genetics and can put that fast food to good use, while others just end up fat... it's also a matter of how many times they go there. There is something called mental health, and to some people, if they don't cheat once every couple of days/weeks they end up quitting the gym...

It really depends on genetics and the amount of times you eat unhealthy, my gym partner is swolen as Fu** and he eats cookies, chocolate and goes to mcdonald a couple of times a week, if i did the same my theme song would be "they see me rolling, they hating..."

My gym is in a warehouse, there are no restaurants near it, but since our town is small it's just a couple of minutes to go to burger king or McDonalds

I understand, man. Fast food is just calories in a snack. Burn 'em off and you should be good to go. I'll have to work out a ton to get them "out" of me though, lol. :)

At least with it being a KFC, you could get 2 chicken breast, a small salad, sking the breast and not have a whole lot of extra calories. Just don't use the creamy salad dressings, use an oil and vinegar one, or if they have it salsa. shred your chicken breast put it on the salad, and then enjoy.

There you go! A healthy KFC meal! I've written that one down in my phone... :)

It is all about marketing, the gym owners have no way to oppose to the kfc moving next to their location. The one that could have stopped this is the owner of the building, but I guess as long as he is paid good in terms of rent, he really doesnt care that a fast food is placed near the gym. This shouldn't be a problem for the serious athletes, which have no cravings for kfc anymore, but for the begginers which already struggle sticking to a meal plan.

I hear ya, mate... Problem is I "am" a beginner! :)

All you really need to do, is to Wish to get better, wish to look better, to feel better, to feel healthier. The Will is all you need.

Yeah, we've got a shopping strip across the street from where I work, and there's an ice cream place right next to a Weight Watchers. It's like a liquor store with a drive-thru window...it's almost a good idea.

Whoa! You get stuff like that in the States? Now that's class, my friend... :)

@ezzy puregym is looking good.. but in reality you will get to know only when you will join it

True... Not long now. :))
