Welcome Back to Our Home Gym
Hey there, fitness fam!
What’s good?
It’s your favorite nerdy otaku here, back with another blog post that’s all about the hustle and grind of getting back into shape.
So, grab your protein shakes and put on your favorite anime playlist because we’re diving in!
Today is a day I’ve been waiting for since life turned upside down – Monday, June 29th!
Our beloved stomping grounds, the one and only 24 Hour Fitness Glendora, has finally reopened its doors!
I mean, can we get a collective “Hallelujah!” for that?
If you’ve been living under a rock, let me fill you in.
The gym has been closed for what feels like an eternity, and I, for one, have missed the sights, sounds, and, of course, the sweet smell of sweat.
We’ve all had to adapt and find creative ways to stay fit, but nothing beats the atmosphere of our local gym where we can literally lift our spirits while lifting weights.
So, let’s not waste any time and jump straight into my first workout post-reopening!

The First Workout: A Blast from the Past!
I rolled up to 24 Hour Fitness at 5 PM, and let me tell you, the energy was palpable!
The excitement of being back in the gym felt like stepping into a battle arena in my favorite RPG.
I could hear the faint sounds of weights clanking and the heavy breathing of fellow gym warriors, and it just motivated me even more.
Now, before I dive into my workout experience, let’s address the elephant in the room.
Yes, there are new restrictions due to health protocols.
You can’t work out twice in a day, and nope, you can’t hop between different 24 Hour Fitness locations in a single day.
Bummer!
But hey, rules are rules, and we’re just happy to be back, right?
I had an hour to crush my workout, and trust me, I made every second count.
I didn’t want to be that person who spends more time recording than actually working out, so I kept my phone away and focused on lifting.
But don’t worry, I’ll share some gems from my sessions as I go!

Day Two: The Reunion!
Fast forward to day two of my gym journey.
I decided to bring along a buddy from the infamous “drunk house” crew, who also happens to be a fellow gym rat.
It’s always great to have a workout partner, especially when you share a history that goes back to the very same gym!
It’s like a reunion with an old friend – you know, the kind of friend who pushes you to do one more rep when you’re ready to call it quits.
After a solid hour of lifting and some cardio, we were both sweating like we just finished a boss battle!
I managed to catch a few clips, but again, my focus was on maximizing my workout.
The vibes in the gym were electric, and I couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.
This is where we forged our workout friendships and made countless memories.
My buddy and I reminisced about our early days of working out together – the awkward moments, the failed lifts, and of course, the gains!
It’s amazing how a place can hold so much meaning.
For both of us, 24 Hour Fitness Glendora is more than just a gym; it’s a community, a haven for nerds and fitness enthusiasts alike.

What’s Next? Progress Updates and Goals!
Now that I’m back in the gym, I’m setting new goals for myself.
I want to document this journey and share my progress with you all!
My plan is to hit the gym four times a week, focusing on different muscle groups each day.
I’m also incorporating some cardio to keep my endurance up.
Who knows? Maybe I’ll even try out some new workout classes once I get my rhythm going!
I’m super excited to push myself and see how my body responds after this hiatus.
And of course, I’ll be sharing all my insights – the struggles, the triumphs, and maybe even some epic fails along the way!
