Sprots at last!

Last January or so we signed up for a year membership at a gym of campus. It wasn't great, but it was something since the gym on campus is only open during dinner it seems. Right before we left for the summer, the gym shut down. We were told they were doing renovations. Knowing this is China, we didn't expect too much. When we got back from summer vacation we thought surely it would be open. It had been two months! Nope, still closed. People said "any day," "very soon." We did notice the new sign...not very encouraging.

One day we were walking downtown and saw a huge advertisement for a gym. Could this be our gym? It looked amazing with spinning classes and hot yoga. Nah. China is known for false advertising.

Dawson discovered a few days ago that the gym is indeed open now. We went yesterday to check it out...

Elliptical machines! New treadmills! New aerobics room! Hot yoga room! Spinning room!

It is sooo much better than last year, and the great news is our membership still applies and they may even comp us for the time it was closed. The workers seem much nicer and friendlier too.

So now we're all trying to motivate one another and keep one another accountable. This gym is awesome! Woohoo!
