Gym buddy wanted for mutual exercise motivation at CityFitness Thorndon!
I am looking for a gym buddy for mutual exercise motivation at CityFitness Thorndon!
(www.cityfitness.co.nz...
Even before corona closed in, I was in dire need of regular exercise. Now that we’re emerging from lockdown, I’m especially keen to get into it. I really enjoy the gym environment once I am there, but my problem is the motivation to get up in the morning and go. I’ve discovered that I am extrinsically motivated, in that I am much more likely to exercise regularly if I am accountable to someone else to turn up on time. Likewise, if you have similar motivation issues, I would be there to encourage you to turn up and do your own workout at our agreed times.
I’m hoping to meet up two or preferably three weekday mornings a week, and finish working out by about 8am so that I can start work by 8:30am.
I live in Thorndon (five minutes’ walk from City Fitness) and work for the Department of Internal Affairs on Pipitea Street (but at home for now).
I would look to do machine weight workouts and cardio, perhaps with the occasional group fitness class. But you could do your own workout – I don’t need a ‘spotter’, just someone to motivate me to get to the gym.
I am 39 years old, and not bothered about your age or gender. Happy to meet up and discuss further if you are interested.
Cheers,
Tim Hickey

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
