My Hotel Gym Workout Was Disrupted by a Rugby Team Warming Up!

I recently stayed at the Hyatt Place in Braintree, Massachusetts. I wrote about the hotel renovations (see, The Newly Renovated Hyatt Place Boston/Braintree), but I saved the best for last.

You see, there was a professional rugby team staying at the hotel, the Old Glory DC Rugby Team. I saw them earlier at breakfast – they were a bunch of healthy, handsome brute athletes with big pre-match appetites.

A little later on, I went to the hotel fitness center and was thrilled to see there was a Peloton Bike in the gym.

Lo and behold, as I was setting up the bike, the rugby team came in for a workout! Here’s a little video of the experience! (see, video)

It wasn’t easy to concentrate on my workout, but frankly, who cares – – It was hilarious! These guys almost brought down this machine. A third had to hold it up!

This was certainly one of my more memorable hotel gym workouts!

I was tempted to snag a pair of their shorts from the event room – not really, but I did giggle at the thought.

By the way – the renovation of the fitness room was impressive. This was a photo I took of the same room a few years before:

Have a great day!
