Confession time. It was cold and rainy last weekend, and I motivated myself to go to the gym for an indoor cardio workout that would warm me up in no time. When I got there, it was like everyone in the entire city had the same idea, and every machine was occupied.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, I decided to throw in my towel. Literally. The towel I had grabbed on the way in went straight into the gym's laundry bag, and I exited without doing any kind of activity. Something about the situation made me terribly unmotivated, and I simply decided my workout would wait until the next day. Have you ever left the gym without working out?

Have You Ever Gone to the Gym, and Not Worked Out?

Yes! Glad to know I am not alone.

I've come close to leaving but always manage to convince myself to stay.

No, I've never left the gym without working out.

Something else. I'll tell you in the comments.

New York's MTA decided a long time ago that it would try to sell the naming rights to the city's subway stops, but it finally found someone willing to pay up. London-based bank Barclays has offered $4 million to add its name to Brooklyn's Atlantic Avenue/Pacific Street station. The name will officially change when the upcoming sports center, also called Barclays Center, opens in 2012.

We've long forgotten the days when stadiums and arenas were named after their locations, but subway stations? New Yorkers better be prepared to see a Miracle Whip sign on the 34th Street station or get ready to take an express train to Taco Bell Avenue.

Do you have a problem with corporations invading public space or is this a good way to subsidize the taxpayers' burden of paying for public transportation?

NYC Sells Subway Station Names — Savvy or Selling Out?

Savvy! It's a great way to pay for public transportation.

Selling out. This is getting ridiculous.
