I find myself in a conundrum. I was a proud attendee of the 24 Hour Fitness in Santa Monica (the one on 31st and Ocean Park), but then it closed down for renovations. The other two within reasonable distance of my house are not suitable gyms (there's no parking to be found at 2nd St and Pico is a dystopian nightmare), so I've been going to the Sherman Oaks location on my way home from work.
Problem is, because of how far away the ShOaks location is, I can only go on my way home from work. Which means that I'm attending during peak gym time. I can't find a locker and there's never a free elliptical -- the treadmill hurts my knee -- and I find myself going home early most nights, because every machine has at least two guys hovering around it, waiting for their turn.
What do you do when the gym is just too crowded?
