I am convinced, there is a machine, at every gym, where there is only one.  This machine might as well be in the centre of the room.

Everyone wants it, everyone needs it.

If you look away for a second, someone has swooped in and taken your spot.

Why aren’t there two?

It can’t be costly. Have you looked around the room?  There are tons of machines with the same cords, weights, seats, etc.

And it’s not space.

So what is it?  Why is there only one and not more?

I’m convinced that this machine is what keeps you in the gym – it’s the hope of being able to use it and how good you will feel afterward.

We each have a threshold of how long we’re going to wait for something, and if we’re waiting, we’re hanging around, trying other machines, doing other things.

Hoping we get that chance to use it.

The question is, is the waiting time worth the use of the machine?

Is the one thing you are waiting on to happen, worth the wait.
