Gym Laundry
no need to carry your sweaty clothes around | |
Have just been to the gym. Well, a good thrapage on the tennis court actually. As usual I now have a bag of sweaty shorts and t-shirt and socks that don't even bear thinking about.
I want a gym that has a laundry service for an end to the events when I take my kit bag and find to my distinct
displeasure that I didn't take a clean kit, or just when I can't be arsed to carry two bags into work or back home. Will also help when one has forgotten to take clean knickers for afterwards (I really should just rename myself queen of knickers, shouldn't I). Leave your kit in your own personal locker and the service will come round, take them out, wash them, dry them, fold them and put them back. Can be washed in a load with everyone else's stuff (hurrah! a new lease of life for the name labels industry!), or for an extra premium you can have a private wash. (This extra premium will pay for the extra water and power, and will include a donation to an environmental organisation, in respect of the appalling waste of energy that a small wash load causes.)

A more favourable option is to be a couch potato, then you don't have sweaty gym clothes to worry about in the first place! |

Don't make me post "The Naked Gym." You wouldn't want that to happen. Hell... *I* wouldn't want that to happen. |

[st3f] - I assume The Naked Gym would have no lighting, so as to preserve people's modesty? |

LG such a practice exists in parts around here. One gym in SF would do the laundry for a fee, not sure exactly how. In college, we would be issued standard T-shirt and shorts by size and we would (for the most part) return them to the laundry afterwards. I also recall some places issuing us a humungous safety-pin with a number embossed on it. You skewer your socks, T-shirt and shorts (knickers too, if you got em) and toss it in. After, you collect everything that remains on the safety pin. Only drawback is rather large holes in your kit. |

Totally baked. The fitness center attached to my old job gave you a bag with your locker number on it. at the end of the session, you threw your sweaty clothes in a mesh bag, and threw the bag in a bin. The next day, your clothes would be clean in your locker... |

I just had this idea, although I envisaged it with a full
function laundry/dry cleaners. You go to the gym and
at the end of the week drop 5 work shirts into the
front desk, they're ready to use one day at a time
starting the next Monday. Rinse and repeat. |

Darn, no cogs, levers and complex articulations, just
clean gears. |
