Great gym in Barcelona!
Friday 16 December 2005 in Activities
I know that Tom Hogkinson, Idler author, argues that going to the gym is the modern equivalent of the torture chamber.
Clearly he’s never been to the kind of idler-friendly gyms I go to! After a hard night’s idling, which lets face it usually involves excessive quantities of some sort of narcotic, mornings can often be a little, well, groggy…so I head for the gym. I use Holmes Place, just off Plaza Urquinaona - a little upmarket, but worth it for the luxurious facilities and good-looking staff 
Work up a little sweat to clear out the toxins, cool down with some stretching, pad down to the pool for a few gentle laps, followed by a jacuzzi and then relax in the steam room…aah…refreshing shower, then a relaxed, healthy, and always tasty lunch in their restaurant. Emerge onto the streets of Barcelona feeling like a new man!
