I fell in love with lifting weights during college. Which was awesome, because the gym was always a quick walk from my dorm room. And the dining hall was all-you-could-eat, so there was no excuse not to get huge.
I know my story isn’t unique. Lots of guys and girls kick their fitness into high gear in college. But what really sucks about college gyms is the crowds.
No membership fee? Nothing to do after class? Unacceptable to start crushing PBR’s at 2 pm on a Tuesday (not that that stops everyone)? Let’s go to the gym! It’s like every day is January 2nd and everyone’s taking their New Years Resolution very seriously.
Anyways, my buddy Dave has created an app called GymMate that’s going to fix all this. If your college or university has GymMate, you’ll be able to check your phone and see exactly how busy the gym is, right down to the number of treadmills, benches and squat racks available. Pretty cool, huh?
So I wrote a guest blog for the GymMate site that’s all about how to make your workouts more efficient. You know, so you don’t have to wait in line for some pencilneck to finish curling in your squat rack. Check it out:
