i go to the gym at 10.30am on 3 weekdays and it is full of gorgeous 'older' people. i love it. sometimes theres a couple of uni students and other mums too. theres some 'in shape' people and theres also lots of out of shape people (like me) too. i love looking around and seeing people (especially those in their 70s and 80s!) making an effort towards good health. it makes me feel really good. I'm overweight and no one has ever laughed or gossiped or made me feel uncomfortable. i get lots of smiles and encouragement! mine is a mixed sex gym, which i actually like better than the women only ones. sometimes i run into my dad there!
please go and join up. it will be so good for you!!!
