    The hardest gym class ever (whilst trying to impress Lycra donned totty)

    I've just started at a big financial which work a 7 hour working day. As I get in at 7:00 to 7:30, I thought it looks unprofessional if I'm scooting off at 2:30, so I've been doing a gym class or weights every day at lunch to pad the day out.

    Just been to one at lunch, and as a reasonably fit guy, I nearly barffed after the class. The structure was you work with a buddy, and it is like a non stop circuits class, with 8 lengths of the gym hall at a fast sprint pace, and whilst your buddy does his 8, you are doing pressups, squats etc. For 45 minutes, totalling around 200 lengths of the gym and 18 - 20 exercises.

    I'm either 1) not as fit as I thought, b) a wimp or 4) gay.

    Anyone else use ClientCo facilities or got any exercise related anecdotes?

      Well I start with the 100’ train dash as I hit snooze 1 too many times

      Then followed by the scrum for a train seat

      Then the Jubilee line Salam

      & then to top it off 57 bloody steps from street level to the office & no lift as it's a building site

      I don’t need a gym!

          I wake up, get out of bed, pull a comb across my head.

            It's addled your brain.
            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                    It's a blatant pointer to being inside IR35, so I don't.

                    It's absolutely nothing to do with being lazy. Oh no.
