I...Can't...sit...or bend...my arms.....Pyshco Gym, Dallas

I got my ass kicked......

My brother-in-law recently joined a new gym in Deep Ellum.  I thought the name of the place, Psycho Gym, was cute and clever until I experienced it for the first time....wow.  Its not a joke, this place is 24 hour fitness on crack.....no treadmills or spin bikes or Nautilus equipment.  Its outfitted with pull-up rings and Kettlebells and tires and ropes.  It is an ass whooping of Mike Tyson proportions, Biggest Loser style. 

There were about 12 of us in the class. We rotated through 5 stations, with three excercies in each station with each excercise lasting 30 seconds.  We did 5 rounds of this which took us about an hour.  Oh my.  The owner, Travis, is a certified personal trainer and professional butt kicker.  But he was sweet and he didn't yell and he took the time to come over to give me some support and feedback on my form.  Less then 12 hours later, I needed help standing up, using a fork and bending over to take my socks off.

But.....

All this pain means I must have worked hard, and must have used muscles I haven't used in a long time and as much pain as I am in, I feel proud and strong and brave for making it through.   Don't get me wrong, I love Spin and Step and Zumba and Body Pump....but this....was something special and empowering.  Thumbs up.
