Today was a perfect day to get on the bike and head into Wellington. Suzi & I kitted up and had a fantastic two hour ride to Lyall Bay and back. Nothink serious, just taking it easy 
Even had time for a quick stop and grabbed a few quick photos.
It’s a great day to be alive
Actually, you probably guessed this one already. Because I’m there! I love working out and I like to think that when I’m teaching Body Pump and/or RPM, the Martin you see on stage is the one you meet on the gym floor/car park/supermarket. Real people … that’s what you’ll meet at JG.
Here’s the killer reason. From August 1st, your membership covers all group fitness classes including RPM (spin). Other gyms are charging at least $5 per class for RPM. So now, all you pay is your annual/monthly/weekly membership fee!
Parking! There are a whole lot more FREE CAR PARKS to the north behind the gym.
Reasons 2 & 3 came to me when the lovely Suzi came back from the gym (a different one to mine) and she was a little upset. There were no free parks left, so she parked on a meter& paid her $6. She paid another $6 and did her RPM class. She did a workout/warmdown after class. Got back to her car and had a $12 parking ticket!
So thats $6 + $6 + $12 = $24 for one RPM class. Not to mention the $20+ per week that she pays for membership. If she was to do 2 more RPM classes and get free parking that would be $36 for the weeks RPM and chuck in the weekly gym membership of $20, thats $56! Pretty bloody expensive, did I mention that she also does Pump twice a week as well?
Actually, I’m not but Jenkins Gym is looking for a new Group Fitness Co-ordinator.

Just upgraded my Wordpress from version 2.0 (old old old) to the latest 2.7 + moved it and the database to a new server. It all went pretty seamlessly. Big ups to the wordpress guys for the excellent documentation. I’ve still got a little tidying up to do and I’ve changed the theme at least 3 times already!
I’m pleased with the way all my old postings came across without a hitch. Only problem I had was permissions on the database but a quick read of the manual fixed that.
Yay!
I ran into Janet at a recent house warming party in Paekakariki, cousin by marriage by cool lady nevertheless. Anyway, she works for Harcourts in Paekakariki (we work for RE/MAX but wont hold it against her), and her house is being auctioned tomorrow, Thursday 11th June @ noon.
Hope it goes well
We launched the new Less Mills releases on Saturday and this week is a new-release-fest with every class promoting the new music and choreography. I wasn’t invloved in the RPM launch because I was doing Pump but have taught RPM 43 four times since Sunday. I think I’m getting the hang of it.
Body Pump 70 rocks! Features the toughest tricep since I started training on release 61!!
