The Gym - Strong and Independent

I have been working out consistently at my gym since last July/August and by consistently I mean 3-5 times a week. It started with me wanting to lose weight for my friend's wedding. I got a trainer, started rolling the track, and did my best. Little did I know how much I could really do at my gym, how strong I could get, and the friends I would actually make. My trainer, Tom, has been very influential in this area of my life. I really consider him more of a life coach than just a personal trainer. :) Tonight I was working out by myself. And it was one of those moments where being a strong, independent women working out did not benefit me. I had one of the least dramatic falls ever getting off a machine. I don't think a single soul noticed. So I was somewhat awkwardly sitting on the floor in a not so common place and needed to get back on to my chair. Not a soul, I repeat myself, not one person stopped by to see if I need help. In fact people did the opposite, I had people stepping over and around me to get to their next burn. I don't know if this has ever happened anywhere else. To be fair, I am really independent at the gym and get on and off the floor pretty regularly. But I only get on to the floor in the designated floor areas which this clearly was not one of those places. It took me a couple of minutes and some deep breaths and I was able to get back into my chair with ease. I am thankful I started working out because I have gotten a lot stronger and didn't panic at this floor adventure. That's a day in my life.... Have you ever had one of those moments where it seems obvious that people around you should being paying attention but they aren't or choose not to??
