Heck, if just taking half an hour and putting one of these together gets a '"rocks" vote from you, I'll do more!

I can give you a free one-week pass for the BIDMC gym, so that you can see if it will work out for you.

But don't judge them until they get the new equipment. Current batch of equipment sucks. Am hoping for major improvements. New stuff will be in on November 12.

Ask me about the gym when you see me-- I'll give you the full rant and tell you about the gym options that exist.

well, we'll see... I don't have the contract in my hot little hands just yet! Probably by the time it does come through, the new equipment will be in.

What's the rant, by the way? Having a gym close by, that I don't have to use either before or after work, seems like a good idea. There's a Boston Sports Club close to where I live; it's likely to be very busy at the times I could use it, but I'm surious as to how it might compare to the BIDMC gym.
