We wanted a place where we could go and just workout without any hassles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Second:&nbsp; <\/strong>We wanted a nice place that would be convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Third:<\/strong>&nbsp; We needed our workouts to be safe. If we\u2019re going to get hurt, we\u2019re going to get hurt doing something a lot more fun and exciting than routine exercise \u2013 you know like skydiving, water-skiing, or snowboarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fourth:<\/strong> (OK, we wanted more than just a <em>few<\/em> things), we also wanted privacy. Let\u2019s face it, more people mean more distractions. Whether they are talking on their phones, talking to other gym members, hovering, staring, posturing, posing in front of a mirror, being rude, being nice, forgetting to wipe down after themselves&#8230; Whatever they\u2019re being \u2013 they are being a distraction. Hey, I like people, but I don\u2019t want to share their germs or be in their sweat \u2013 yuck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fifth:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;We need it to be really, really clean!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sixth:&nbsp;<\/strong> We needed a place that we could go back to over and over and over\u2026 dare I say it, we needed a place to workout where we actually <strong>enjoyed&nbsp;<\/strong>going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seventh:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>My life &#8211; like yours&nbsp;&#8211; is scheduled.&nbsp; I need to reserve a little time each week for my myself.&nbsp; &#8220;Me time&#8221;&nbsp;has to be on my calendar, or it will be squeezed-out by other appointments that <em>are<\/em> on my calendar.&nbsp; Knowing an instructor&nbsp;is expecting me helps me be accountable to myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eighth:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;We needed a place to workout where we didn\u2019t have to worry about packing a gym bag, changing into workout clothes, taking extra showers, and washing smelly gym clothes and wet towels.&nbsp; We needed a place to workout that was well-ventilated, kept cool and the air was circulated so we wouldn\u2019t overheat in the first place \u2013 that would save a lot of time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come to think of it \u2013 <strong>Ninth:<\/strong>&nbsp; We needed a place to workout where all we had to do was show-up.&nbsp; We needed a strength-training service!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I cannot think of a single activity that is more beneficial to daily life, your sense of well-being, and your ability to do anything you want to do!&nbsp; Feeling better and looking better, stronger muscles and stronger bones, more stamina and a revved-up metabolism all from brief weekly workout&nbsp;sessions. If you need a place to workout, too then&nbsp;you&#8217;re in luck&#8230; we made one to share with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genbook.com\/bookings\/slot\/reservation\/30180651?bookingSourceId=1000\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genbook.com\/bookings\/images\/booknow\/orange-reverse-small.png\" alt=\"Make an Online Appointment\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A client will occasionally ask why my wife Sandy and I decided to&nbsp;open Smarter Exercise.&nbsp; I usually reply, only&nbsp;half-joking, &#8220;because we needed a place to workout.&#8221; The honest truth is\u2026 we really did need a place to workout!&nbsp; In order to make the most of our valuable time and get a great workout, we needed &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smarterexercise.org\/home\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Do You Need a Place to Workout, Too?&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","filesize_raw":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-20","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smarterexercise.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/20","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smarterexercise.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smarterexercise.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smarterexercise.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smarterexercise.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.smarterexercise.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/20\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1015,"href":"https:\/\/www.smarterexercise.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/20\/revisions\/1015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smarterexercise.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
