You spend 10 minutes trying to figure out how to start the cardio machine.
As you stand there, pressing buttons, you're thinking, "Maybe if I press every button, the display will soon light up and the machine will start moving". Meanwhile, the people behind you know your machine doesn't work because they watched the previous sucker do the very same thing. Now they're secretly laughing at you, but they appear to be watching the monitor above your head. Hahaha...Finally, you get it...it doesn't work! Maybe they just didn't get around to putting a sign on it yet. You hop on the machine next to you. Then you see this one HAS a "temporarily out of service" sign on it! So you hop on the next available machine, which has different buttons, because every machine is NOT created equally. You press all the buttons again, and viola, you're moving!
Today, I counted at least four machines with a "temporarily out of order" sign. Maybe the equipment maintenance crew went on strike?
Why this pisses me off...I actually do my cardio at the end of my workout. So my heart rate is up, I'm feeling good. Then this scenario happens and my heart rate begins to drop. Now, I feel I have to warm up again. It's so frustrating, it takes away from the intensity of my workout. What a waste of time!
It's happening right now in some major commercial gym across America. Or does it only happen to me?
