So, perhaps in my area, people are waiting for 'routine' before they commit to their own routine. However, I may have just jinxed myself cause tonite is Zumba... and it may be PACKED.

So then, as I am inclined to do, I further dug into this thought. As I stood in my zumba class waiting for it to start, I looked around at all of the new faces. As I was dancing (well sweating buckets may be a better way to say it) I started thinking about the regulars, each gym has them, and we change, regulars change over time too. Then I started to reflect on the fact that every class has new faces, all the time. It is the ever changing face of the gym. I expanded on that thought. The new year resolutioners, or close to swimwear season resolutioners, become a part of the face of the gym; the face of the gym just changes more noticeably. It may not be that everyone is brand new, rather they are a more noticable change in the face of the gym.

So, Jake, thanks for posing the question you did. I took it further than intended, however it did open my mind. And it changed how I saw things. I love it when my held views are questioned and reformed.
