Anyone go to the gym in the middle of the day?
I'm trying to find time to work out and I get up at 5:30am just to get ready before I get the kids up so morning workouts are out. After work, I have dinner, homework, etc.
So I work in the city and Planet fitness is near me and reasonable. (There are no planet fitness where I live on LI.) So I was thinking about joining.
Anyone ever workout during their work day? Do you shower and wash your hair after? Make-up, etc. Trying to figure out it it's worth it to join. my lunch hour seems like the only time I would have to hit the gym at this point in my life.

Re: Anyone go to the gym in the middle of the day?
The whole hair/makeup/sweaty thing is the main reason I could never go during lunch.
An hour is not enough time for me to get there, workout, and then get myself looking presentable enough to go back to work.
If I were to shower and wash my hair, that alone would be over an hour to get my hair dry and styled again and my make up on.
I would need a 2 hour lunch hour to make that work.
Personally, I enjoy a good at home work out. Jillian Michael has some great workout DVDs you can do at home in 20 minutes and they hit all aspects of cardio and weight training.

Re: Anyone go to the gym in the middle of the day?
I go to Blink Fitness across the street from my job on my lunch time.
It is the only time I have to get a workout in. I usually go around 2 pm each day.
I do not shower after working out. I don't have the time and do not want to cut into my workout time. I just change when I get back into the office and use wipes to freshen up a bit. I don't bother with make-up either because I don't want to lug a gym bag back and forth each day.
I keep the essentials - sneakers, socks, change of underwear, hair ties, deodorant, body spray etc in a gym bag at my desk. I bring a fresh change of clothes each day in my tote bag.

I can't do a gym for lack of time and wouldn't be able to do lunch for these same reasons. Try fitnessblender.com at home!

I do the same. I go to a Blink down the block from my job & change when i get back. It took some getting used to but it works great for me.
If it's a priority, then you will make it work. I treat it as a break from work. I can focus on myself for 40 min & i love it

If it's the only time, then do it. You can make it work.
I use to go to NYSC during my lunch break. I could squeeze in about a 35-40 min run. I didn't wash my hair though in the winter. In the warmer weather I would and just pin it up wet.
I don't wear a lot of makeup so that wasn't an issue. I would reapply tinted moisturizer, mascara, eye liner and gloss which is quick.

I used to do this when I worked in the city. I would take a class during lunch and then I would just change back into my work clothes at the gym. I was doing mostly toning classes so not a ton of sweating. Wipes are great and most gyms will have deodorant dry shampoo etc to help freshen up.. GO FOR it!
