Spare me your eternal happiness. I just want to sweat and go home

It’s almost impossible these days to find an exercise class that doesn’t try and teach you something about yourself or gift you some kind of eye-opening, life-changing, mountain-top-gazing moment.

Believe me, I have tried to find them. I have always needed a group exercise class to stay fit because I find treadmill running and rowing machines equally torturous, and I need an instructor in front of me to make sure I don’t walk out when boredom strikes.

I’m an old-fashioned exerciser, too. I throw on T-shirts and shorts, and head out the door with zips half done up. I have sports bras that are 10 years old and sports socks that definitely do not match. Working out is something I don’t especially enjoy, so I don’t think about it too much. I turn up, do the darned work and leave.
