AWing my gym

sewpinkgal

I've always thought that I belonged to the best gym out there, that it was really more of a community than just a place to go and get sweaty. But, the members have really impressed me the last couple of weeks. Everyone has been so great upon hearing the pregnancy news and have been so supportive with my worries about my changing body. I'm starting to get more of a belly and everyone has had such great supportive comments. In fact, some people seem down right giddy seeing the little belly starting to come out.

I know these women and I wouldn't expect anything less, but it's still so different than the reactions I think most women would expect from a group of really fit, gym rats. It's been so comforting to me and I'm so happy to have a place that is so welcoming to the gym-going pregnant chicks.

I'm telling work today though, so I'm guessing I'll get some idiotic comments to balance out the good ones. ha!

Congrats- that's awesome!  I've found a lot of support at my gym too, isn't it great?

I'm not surprised. Your gym is so much more than just a gym. You've developed real relationships with the people there.
