gym

My gym sells crystals now. Opposite of the juice bar counter, they have their little shop for sports clothes and yoga mats. And crystals. About half of the shop has this big display case with rose quarz bracelets, amethyst balls, glass buddhas and jade piglets. I'm not really sure why. Does wearing a quarz bracelet make your cardio work-out more effective? Are you supposed to carry a jade piglet in your pocket to intensify your stretches? Or maybe they think lifting the glass buddha is more fun than lifting a dumb bell? Or maybe you're supposed to use one of the bigger pieces for smashing the pseudo-European plastic gothic pillars with golden angels on top that they put next to the changing room while they're redecorating the spa? Or one of the crystals in your pockets saves you from the stupid trainees who feel that certainly the little foreign girl (who has been using the machines for 2 years and is minding her own business) is too stupid to adjust the height and weight and start readjusting right after I had it all the way it was supposed to be and who obviously only understand a "No, thanks, I can handle it." after you bellow it for the third time? I guess I should try that next time :-S
