![]() ![]() It’s like judging people for how many followers they have. Judging someone based on their fitness level is both pathetic and sad. For the first several months, maybe even a year, I thought everyone was judging me. I tried every machine for about 5 minutes. It was at the YMCA with mostly the older crowd, and I still felt like I didn’t belong. I remember the first time I went to the gym alone. The fact is that it is still 8% more than last year.Įveryone started their fitness journey somewhere. But “New Years Resolutions Never Last”:Īccording to studies, only 8% of people keep their New Year’s resolutions. ![]() If someone “getting in your way” annoys you, purchase your gym equipment and stay home. Or because you are doing more at the gym. No one is more entitled to a piece of equipment because you have been a member longer. The reality is everyone at the gym is paying for the same membership. (But really: you are wasting your time complaining) I hate how busy it is I hope these people leave soon. Ugh, I hate waiting in line for the gym equipment I want to use. Here are just a few complaints about resolutioners at the gym I’ve seen: Sure, having more people at the gym is inconvenient because fewer machines are available. Sadly, I also hear friends publically wish resolutioners would get out of the gym or get out of their way. That’s awesome and I’m happy for everyone! Or they want to get into running! Or a new sport! Whatever! They plan to do X, Y, and Z. If New Years’ Resolutions keep you motivated, then great.Īnd yes, there are millions of other New Years’ Resolutions other than “lose X pounds” and “get fitter.” This post could be summed up as, “stop being an asshole to those begin coming to the gym on January 1st”.Įvery year I hear friends declare they will go to the gym more. Because, like many things, I think there is a time and place for them. This isn’t a post to say I don’t believe in New Years’ Resolutions either. I would love to hear your opinion, and it just might help someone change their health habits.ĭisclaimer: Check with your Dr to make sure you are healthy enough to work out.This isn’t a typical New Year’s Resolution post sharing my New Years’ Resolutions. If I missed anything, then please add it to the comments. I may have left out something in my list. No one wants DIRTY hands on the equipment. Wash your hands when leaving the restroom.Wipe down the equipment when you are done.Go to them gym on days that you don't want to go.Take a shower BEFORE coming to the gym and wear deodorant.Not a single soul wants to smell that while they workout. Do NOT smoke cigarettes and then come into the gym.I know they are beautiful BUT its creepy! Don't stare at the super fit women in the gym.The next lifter is NOT your mom! Plus, some lifters are elderly, and they can't rack your 45lbs plates. Its GO time! Show yourself that you want it! No texting, no talking, and no social media. Don't just sit on the equipment, USE the equipment.Change your mind and the body will follow. You now eat for the nourishment of your body and NOT for taste. ![]() I want to give out some tips for the new year's resolution minded people that will hopefully give you the confidence to stay all year.īelow are 10 steps to help you fit in and hopefully stay until December. ![]() It's that quitting mindset that is so annoying. I see people flood the gym, get in the way, and then quit a few months in. I myself have had these negative emotions towards the January flood. I see a lot of comments on social media that are negative when it comes to new year's resolutioners. The time of year where people flood the gym like the first Monday of January is some magical day. Ah yes, the most interesting time of year for being in or around a gym. ![]()
