My gym's a short mile down the cycle track behind my house. I've crashed my bike badly twice recently going and returning from said gym. No road crashes for over 20 years, or problems with cars etc.
Now, our Gym does the Les Mills stuff, almost in it's entirety. What really concerns me is this; one of the newer classes, "Body Lean" (not LM) is "women only". Took me, a mere fella, by surprise; it's fully booked a week in advance. Hugely popular.
The implications? Make of it what you will. Do the ladies feel uncomfortable with men around, in close proximity as on the bikes? Have some of the ladies complained? How would you, as a man, feel about "men only" classes? I'd hate them and would never support them, like men only pubs as they seemed to be many years ago.
So now I go to the classes wondering whether to open my mouth or just . . . tuck into a quiet corner somewhere . . . seems like men need women more than women need men.
We have been marginalised!
Or maybe I need a new mindset . . .
