It was with much anticipation I returned to training at System Fitness. I've been longing for this place since I left Canada actually, it's no secret. I miss training with the hardcore women who can bench crazy stacks of weights that make the guys envy and the boys intimidated. Honestly, I don't lift weights in the Philippines like I did in Canada and I'm not inspired by the women there like I am here. I train with some intense rugby players but in terms of those at the boxing club or those at any of the fitness gyms I used to train at, sorry but there's no comparison.
Canada girls are beasts.
I walked into Systems today and was instantly greeted by some familiar faces and hugs, too.
Man, I miss Systems.
Nothing about the gym has changed by many of the staff and fellow gym goers have. People I've trained with for years and who were always familiar faces whenever I popped back in from living in Korea, for example, many of them are no longer there.
The plan is to continue my training by commuting here from downtown. It's a 40min subway ride though so it's rather time consuming. Worth the commute, for sure, but I'll have to figure out how to work this in. Technically I'm suppose to be cutting weight while here on "vacation" so I definitely have to be mindful to get in my training and monitor what I eat.
This isn't the Philippines. I don't have my gym on the 2nd floor or Six Pack Chef feeding me.
How's that for irony -- my life is easier overseas, in a country people think is third world and so behind, and here in Canada, a first world, my life is so much harder.
