KRYSTAL'S MOM has set the ultimate goal for an overweight, middle aged woman. Since becoming widowed she has packed on the pounds and now with the wedding of her only daughter just months away she has vowed to join a gym as a means to become a lean, healthy, vibrant mother of the bride. Setting out to pick the perfect workout facility proves eventful to say the least beginning with a less than welcoming encounter with a fist shaking desk clerk at the local gym. Little does the rude desk clerk know but this gym is about to change forever now that Krystal's mom has joined the membership ranks! Handing over her worn and tattered credit card to pay for a two year membership Krystal's mom embarks on her new adventure into gym life. For someone who's only form of exercise is pushing a grocery cart through the dairy aisle, taking a walk on a programmable treadmill provides Krystal's mom with the first of many lessons to follow on the inner workings of a fitness facility. Walls do not bend and neither do snippy anorexic desk clerks - Lesson number 1!

Ordered this book last week because of the great reviews it had recieved. I recieved it 3 days ahead of the scheduled delivery date! The book was all I expected. It is a great read. The authors sense of humor and insight into our human nature are wonderfully portrayed. Although "Lessons" is written from the perspective of a middle aged over weight woman, the humor and lessons apply equally well to all of us trying to cope with lifes struggles. The lessons learned at the end of each chapter are truly applicable to all of us. This book kept me interested throughout and by the time I finished, I just wanted to hug the author and thank her for making my life a little better! I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a little humorous escape from the tedium and an openness to learning some of life's lessons.Product details

Lessons from the Gym Brenda Fasching 9780985654658 Books Reviews
We just finshed having our book club discussion of this book. It is a book that will make you laugh and make you think about life. The lessons at the end of each chapter make us reevaluate how we react to life and what happens. Will we perservere and learn from it? Not only could I relate in being overweight and joining a gym but learning not to give up because I didn't get the results I wanted in the time I allotted. If it seems hard to keep up in the fitness class, just do the chicken dance and it will bring a smile to your face! I can't wait for her next book.
There were times that this book made me laugh out loud and there were other times where I sort of scratched my head and said, "huh?" While I'm guessing this was partly autobiographical, some of the character's actions and/or the plot sequence seemed a little haphazard and disjointed - a little off and an "ad nauseum" number of cliches. The treadmill scene - haphazard, the polka Zumba - loved it. The end felt very rushed and a little too "perfect" for my tastes. I thought this was a really good novel, hence four stars, but it wasn't a great novel (the potential was there).
This is a Great book and a good laugh. Once you start you reading it, it is hard to put down. It is an easy read.
This was a great book. There were parts of this book that I was laughing so hard I was crying. Brenda tells the truth about how some gyms actually are. I would highly recommend this book.
Lessons From The Gym
This book cracked me up. Being a plump, middle aged woman myself, thoughts of going to a gym can be very frightening. This book was an easy read that had me laughing through to the end. It inspired me to try a few workouts myself, during which I could not help but laugh thinking about Krystal's mom, the main character. I look forward to reading more from this author!
Anyone with a sense of humour can enjoy this book, especially if you've spent any time at a gym. A quick,heat warming read for all ages.
I really liked this book. I had to continually remind myself that the author was NOT my mother (who is a middle child, single parent from Minn- Big difference from ND!) Brenda's honesty about her struggles, and writting down stories that are entertaining at her expense, made for an enjoyable quick read. The book does not end the way you expected, but it ends in a much more satisfying and 'real world' way.
Good luck Brenda!
