Musing on the Madison Fitness’ Temporary Digs.

Musing on the Madison Fitness’ Temporary Digs.

For those not from Madison, you might not know one of the casualties of the recent tornadoes was Madison Fitness Center.

There is another spot in town to workout — The Uptown Fitness Center — but I have been working out at Madtown Fitness for a number of years.

When calamity struck, nothing to do but move the equipment a few blocks down the street to an old auto dealership while extensive repairs (and improvements) are being made to the building.

So after a week with no gym, I headed up to the new location for the 5:30 spin which is my custom every Monday night. 

Here were some of the regulars —  my John, Lisa, Phyllis, Patty and Emily our instructor. It was just like being out on Dixie Highway, without the wind.

All the equipment was moved into the garage portion of the dealership.

There is tons of room which is really cool.

Itis hot. But I like to sweat…I think without the air it’s kind of Madison’s own Muscle Beach.

Yes, now we have our own Muscle Beach — well, without the palm trees and Pacific Ocean. Minor things.

Was up there today working out with Beverly, my trainer, and got to do wind-sprints just by stepping outside one of the huge open garage doors. Okay, I was pretty lame — because with my knee I’m lame literally.

One good thing was without the television, without the mirrors — those of us working out were talking to each other.

And I do love to sweat. Actually that I love to weigh myself after a good sweat.

Here’s to a new fabulous gym in 120 days.
