Remember Homer’s famous “gime” scene? The one where he arrives at the gym, asks what a “gime” is, steps inside to see all the equipment and says “Oh…a gime…”

Well I joined a new gime…*ahem* gym last week.

This thing is flipping amazing. I paid about EUR600 a year for my last gym which was a fair amount but it was in town and handy for work. When I changed jobs it wasn’t convenient so I left and spent five months working out at home. Needless to say motivation and desire is not the same in an uncontrolled environment so I decided to enter the gym arena again.

I came across the Crunch Fitness Premier gym in the city (dead center – Temple Bar, for anyone familiar with Dublin). The cost for this place? EUR700 a year. Not a small amount but compared to my last functional gym, check this out…
