I bought an annual membership at Fitness Evolution in Ripon back in June because it’s 4 blocks from where I live. Super convenient right? Great club, great classes and with all the latest fitness equipment. My attendance has been spotty, I have to admit. Then I saw a photo of myself and rededicated myself to getting to the club in the morning as soon as I woke up instead of what I usually do which is check Facebook on my phone and make sure to maximize all of my MyVegas bonuses to get free perks. It’s not like I can’t do that later in the day.

So no more excuses, last week I woke up right at 6am last Friday, put on my workout clothes, went and got my coffee and scone for energy and then showed up at the gym and then… depression set in, they were closed. I wondered if maybe the person assigned to the front desk forgot to come to work that morning which happens sometimes at those drive through coffee places. So I drove home in a funk because, once you’ve veered from your routine, it’s hard to get motivated to go to the gym and I finally I got my sorry butt out of bed and then, right back in it. I was out of town for the weekend but I figured I’d give it another shot this morning and then… same thing, still closed.

Typically they put a note on the door if they’re doing renovations or whatever to let their clientele know what is going on but there is nothing. Of course I could always call them as they are a chain but I almost don’t want to know. I really like this club and I don’t want to hear the words “closed permanently”. Ugh.
