If it wasn't bad enough that one had to endure the extremely loud and repetitive music at Korean "fitness clubs", but now that the cold weather has set in , we got a new one. Open the windows so the freezing weather can get in. The idea, of course is that you are working out and you will soon bring your body temperature up because of the workout. Fine. I can understand that. But how about not turning on the heat? It will be cold enough especially in the morning when the club first opens up. But to bring in soon to be below freezing temperatures is absurd. Probably no coincidence that I am nursing a cold today after a few days of that at my club.

These people got what; a decade or so of experience with fitness clubs in their country? They just have to reinvent stuff in their stupid ways.

The hourglass in the sauna at my fitness club: I have a sauna at my fitness club for everyone to enjoy. The hourglass in the sauna kept falling down since they compulsively had to place it on the edge of the skirt around the heater which had a small space to place the clock on.

They kept falling off and breaking so the management had to add a small table on the frame to hold the clock. Every time I went there I would put the clock on the seat so it wouldn�t fall down but each and every person that came in moved it to the heater frame.

EVERY ONE. When I brought that stupid habit up to some Korean friends in the sauna with me one day they were offended. I will have to resist saying I told you so, now that they had to install a place to hold the clock since management is sick of buying new ones.

When I asked the manager why they couldn�t just have it on the seat so it wouldn�t fall down and you wouldn�t have to add that table he replied, � you cant see it when the clock is on the seat� Who cares? How many people follow those hourglasses anyway?

I checked out another club in my area recently because of all that noise in my current one.

I think I will take a pass. Now we have loud music and as many as three or four TV's with different programs playing at once. So much for the idea that the music "provides a tempo to run to" , as explained by management at the club. Great tempo interspersed with 4 different TV shows!
