Bally's TV Blows

Is there anything as heinous as Bally TV? Numbing music with numb performers strumming guitars, bouncing up and down in an endless calvacade of aerobic swashbuckling. It doesn't inspire me to work out harder or longer. But perhaps that's the point. If there is nothing to watch but the same old videos of the same performers going through their pathetic paces, then maybe people do leave the gym faster, making room for the next set of ellipticaladdicts.

In the days ahead, I am going to tell you about the many music videos I am basically forced into hearing and/or watching in my 65 minutes in the Glendale, California Bally's gym. Of course, while that is going on I listen to a book on CD, and try my best to tune out the images. Still, is this the best Bally's can come up with? Hope not. Look for a solution soon.

  1. i can't vouche for Bally's... but as far as getting a good workout, I believe that one should be self-motivated. One does go to excercise not watch t.v right? But for arguements sake i use to attend 24 hour fitness and the t.v there was superb, you would be able to watch soaps,sports,mtv,(not that I'm a big fan)etc.. but there were plenty options to watch shows.
