Of course, as the new year approaches, there is the tradition of all the new year’s resolutions.
I’ve never been truly wonderful with these sorts of resolutions, and for the longest time the new year came with another gym membership.
I’d make the max effort to get myself out of the central air conditioning of my beach house, and to the gym for a few weeks. But inevitably, that effort and desire would wane, as I’ve never been the gym type. It was more enjoyable with the recliner and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning comfort that I gravitated toward. The last gym that I joined was okay and it had great workout devices and a truly expert staff. But the commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning device was either ancient and overwhelmed or not respectfully sized to the amount of air volume in that space. My friend and I live in a region with cold winters and hot summers, and that gym was never comfortable. In the winter, I couldn’t get comfortable, as the heating in the gym seemed almost non-existent. Then conversely, the summer was hot and walking into the air conditioning of that gym was no relief. The air conditioning was so overwhelming that I was perspiring before I even got on a piece of exercise equipment. So once again I ended up dropping yet another gym membership, as I just wasn’t getting any value from that membership. But I still truly needed the exercise, so my nice spouse came up with the idea of finding pre-owned devices and having our own gym in the basement. I added to that plan with a ductless heat pump, which was installed by the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning professionals. Now we’d have constant heating and cooling comfort no matter the season.
