P90X Yoga, Day 7

Yoga X. It's supposed to be a relaxing type workout - if you can get your mind right. My group of workout buddies and I get to the gym yesterday right at 9am when it opens, we go down to the aerobic room, put in our DVD, set up our mats, and start the video. Then all hell breaks out. This guy comes in with another women and tells us that it's his space and that it's reserved for his group. They do Insanity EVERY Saturday at 9am and EVERYONE knows that so we need to leave because his group of at least 15 to 20 people will be meeting there. OH REALLY?! Well, Mr. Crazy then why were we here last Saturday at 9am and had the whole place to ourselves? Apparently he was out of town...so I guess that means if he's not there his giant group of 15-20 people just don't show up? Okay, well it's first come first serve and we are here and we've started so we're going to do our workout. Well then Mr. Crazy gets in my face and tells me that it's place and he reserved it and they've been using it for weeks and weeks and if I had a problem with it to take it up with the facility manager (who just happens to be off on weekends).
So, me being me, and not liking to create drama, the 3 of us moved our mats and hooked up our DVD player - because unlike Mr. Crazy WE have a back-up plan for when someone is where we want to be and we still want to workout out. We were 20 minutes into Yoga before he even started AND there were only about 6 of them. Then our DVD player died. We packed up and went upstairs to the desk. I asked them how we can reserve the room too. They said they don't reserve the room...and again they told us to talk to the facility manager. APPARENTLY he is the ONLY person in the gym who can handle a situation like this.
I was SO TICKED OFF. I called and left a nasty message on his machine. Steph called and left him a message. My hubby is going to go in and talk to him as well.
HOW RUDE! We could've worked something out, but no this guy was a total jerk and all angry and in my face. I hate people like that.
And honestly, we are a small group, and we are perfectly fine with doing our Yoga in the corner with a DVD player or laptop. It's the whole we reserved this space and everyone knows that we do this every Saturday at 9am, and then the whole lack of cooperation from the gym that pissed me off. Pick your battles people and I just picked one.
I spent weeks calling around base trying to find another location for us to do our workouts and you can't reserve any of the spaces. The workout centers in the communities all have tv's and no vcr's and then their workout areas aren't very big so if we have more then 3 it's a tight squeeze. The best place to workout is in the aerobic room at the gym. If this guy can reserve it, then I want to too. And if we can't then it's going to be whomever can get to the tv first, and I don't like that. There is another gym on base with an aerobic room. I want a tv/vcr installed in it. That's my goal. Mr. Crazy isn't winning this battle Ladies!
Oh, and this morning there were 2 of us, so we went to the community center and used the kids room (it's only big enough for 2, maybe 3 Yoga mats). We were able to get the whole 90 minutes in without someone bringing their kids to the center. We got lucky. :)
