[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been waiting for these types of posts to start flooding my FB feed from the holier-than-thou gym goers. It pisses me off as much as the overcrowded gym must piss you off, I imagine.

My wife just went through her 7th IVF cycle which was negative. As part of the cycle she was on prednisone which made her gain some extra weight. The depression that resulted from the weight gain combined with the negative cycle was what pushed us to join the gym just a week shy of the new year. Sorry if our timing doesn't fit into everyone's busy gym schedule.

Don't worry - we won't "hog up the machines" and we'll adhere to "proper etiquette."

I'm sorry for your fertility struggles.

This really isn't about the gym, but more a general fitness tip: I've been on and off prednisone for 15 years. I'm also a near-daily runner. When I am tapering off prednisone, I can feel it in my runs--I am slower, and more sluggish. Tell your wife not to be discouraged by the sluggishness and just try to power through. It will get better. Good luck![/quote]
