the best quote - "As British writer A.A.Gill wrote recently, "The great misconception about gyms is that they're palaces of vanity ... where the shallow preen and pump in front of 10-foot mirrors with devoted narcissism. Actually, it's precisely the opposite. Gyms vibrate with self-loathing and doubt. Going to the gym is an admission of failure. It's the realisation that ... your body isn't a temple to fun and fornication any more; it's a decrepit, leaky, condemned shell that is decomposing faster than you can shore it up."
Happy days!
