Who hits the gym at Internext?
 

Hello,

Who here hits the gym while at Internext?

In the past few months I've taken up karate and I go to a private lesson and 4 group classes a week. During the show I'll be away from my regular routine for about a week. I'm not one for gym-style exercise but I'm going to have to do that in order to keep my progress up on this trip.

Is the gym at the Westin any good?

I hope its good, gotta do something like a 9AM workout before the booth, can't throw this new routine off :)

I'm huge

Mike,

If you want to spar, I'd help you out.

I'm planning on using the treadmill to burn off hangovers.

Hi Anthony,

What form(s) are you studying?

Brazillian Jiu Jitsu.

ya ... the gym is ok .. i try to go while I'm down there ... to work off the extra booze ..

Cool! To be honest I'm really to new at this to comfortably spar with someone outside my dojo let alone someone in a completely different form. Thank you for the offer though....I gotta make sure I remain in one piece for the show floor hours :-)

The showers are friendly. You'll be fine.

No worries Mike, you do standup, BJJ is all ground fighting. If you want, I would be more than happy to show you what it is all about, and maybe change your mind and possibly style of fighting. :)

A Karate versus BJJ no holds barred fight.

The Gym at the Westin is amazing.
It's off site from the hotel, but it's a full countryclub style gym with spa, sauna, wading pull, full gym, golf course, massages, etc......
You won't be dissapointed, I'll be hitting it up as well whenever I can.

Is there a bar? If there is let me know.

I'll come have a smoke and a beer and shoot the shit with you if you're lonely while you workout.

Hi Anthony, I'd gladly welcome some education in that form. I think the more forms a person is exposed to, the more well-rounded they can become. Again I stress I'm very new at this :-)

Regards,

Mike B

Is that what you are planning on doing to me? BTW I am no where near a black belt :-)

Mike B

Thanks Ronaldo! Just try not to blow the smoke in my face :-)

Please take John with you, he needs to get in shape for the pool :winkwink:

sounds good :-)

We'll just go over some things. Nothing nuts.

Sounds great! I look forward to it. I'd really like to know some basic defenses to help protect myself from getting into a very compromised position. They teach us to stay off the ground but you must expect the unexpected.

Mike

I will be working out in the gym, and would like to go with you and Anthony too.

and the gym is ON property ( I have worked out in it for the last trwo years)
They have a decent size Gym with good weights, and several cardio machines to use.

Wanna start a breakfast club workout meeting man ?

Sweet - perfect. What time you normally hit it in the morning?

Mike B

around 8:00 a.m. or 9 would be good for me.

i'll be at the gym every dayfor at least an hour

Perfect- see you then! What day do you get in?

Mike B

I arrive on the 2nd at around 9 p.m. and I leave on the 9th

i can see it
there will be a LINEUP to get into the gym at ineternext

cuz you know all of us LOVEEEE working out ;)

Count me in for the gym ,early hours

Joesho , make sure the beer is cold afterwords :P

I get there the 2nd 7:30pm and leave Aug 8th in the afternoon.

So is 9am best? Or 8:30? 8:00? Let me know.

Mike B

why stay in routine on a biz holiday - try new stuff to keep yourself in shape - go jetskiiing - hiking - tours - sports etc?

Lets plan on 8:00 a.m is that good? we will start on Thursday morning I want a day to acclimate OK

OMG I almost swallowed my tongue LOL That was pretty funny, I totally wasn't expecting that!!

As for the gym...I will probably be going myself. My personal trainer starts next week along with Pilates and other fun stuff LOL. Lord knows the winter and Cancun and the summer patios here have taken their toll on me...

sounds great Mike, is 8:00 a.m. good with you man ?

This will be a new routine for me. A gym workout will be fairly different than my karate classes. I'd love to Jet Ski except for that one time I almost drowned, so I'm a little shy about getting back on a water ski. I'm afraid of heights so hiking is out.

I'm usually pretty busy at the show so getting away from the hotel for 3+ hours isn't really an option for me. And I am not good at any sports :-(

Thursday sounds great - and 8:00am is perfect for me.

I might check it out

I grappled for 12 years I'll spar anytime.

deal

Ronaldo, what fights sports did you do ? I did some thai boxing for a while, bring our gloves ?

It's pretty good. I usually make it there the first day of the show. All the cardio machines have nice views of the ocean which is pretty good. It's located in the back of like a gift shop which is wierd. They have some general machines for weights as well.

Congrats on the training - I've always wanted a personal trainer. See you at the gym?

Can't beat an ocean view while you work out. Thanks for the info Alli :-)

Mike B

9am works for me.

Funny how things change. Over a half decade ago at my first show, I would have never thought going to the gym.

But then again, 7 years ago, I was one big fat fuck.

i too will be attempting to get gym time at internext, not 100% since i will be drinking a TON, sbut i hope i can still work up the energy to make it to the gym at least a couple times

i'm a mike b also....

god our names are bad ass :1orglaugh

its tight - anyone looking to workout - let me know

Here's your chance to kick my fat ass, asshole.

I have a personal trainer, Mike....and everytime I travel, I get the same lecture...to go visit the hotel gym...don't drink too much.....eat small portions.......I just got back from a trip and was so proud that I only gained one pound....and promptly lost it within a day of working out, which I now do four times a week.....I hope to get to the gym while I'm there, because it's too hot to walk in Florida.....like breathing water...

We can roll too! :)

Oh, Lord, Anthony....I've seen first hand what you're into....I'd be dead in thirty seconds, if I lasted even that long!!!
