Se as Meninas do Leblon Não Olham mais pra Mim

I wore my glasses to the gym last night, for the first time in my life. I was expecting everyone to stop what they were doing, point at me and sing in unisom: "You are wearing glasses! You are wearing glasses!" But nobody cared, nobody gave me a second glance. It's strange lying on a mat, doing stretches while wearing glasses; and I had to take them off to run on the treadmill; but it was absolutely fine when it came to lifting weights.

The gym continues to be empty in the evenings, despite the end of Ramadan. A lot of people must feel discouraged when the temperature drops.

I see people getting tours and inductions all the time, but they never seem to actually show up for any work outs. I'm hoping it stays that way. When I first joined, there were so many guys (the kind that bypass any warm up/stretching and go straight for the bench press) who'd just mill around the weights and machines, leaving nothing for the rest of us.
