Gym atmosphere matters so much to me, I’ve discovered. Temporarily moved home and have joined a local gym. Very small, hardly any equipment. Occasionally I go to a slightly less local gym that is renowned. Pro bodybuilders have trained there, that kind of gym. It’s massive, impressive array of equip...
