My message today is for the gym rats and the people that work out frequently. ..... I work at the gym and today alone I have seen a few sign-ups, a few that needed their locker combination, a few asking for programs and a lot of people back in classes. Its the same everywhere you go. The New Years Resolution Crowd. You know the ones. They pack the gym with their shiny new outfits, dont know the rules of the gym, never know how to work in, stay forever on one piece of equipment and dont wipe it down. AHHHH, it can be frustrating. BUT, my request of you is to cut the newbies some slack. I know its annoying that your treadmill is taken and there are a ton of people in your favorite spinning class. Give those people a smile, wish them happy New Year and show them the ropes. Its extremely intimidating to start something new and to feel the stares from strangers and the glares of the in crowd just waiting for you to fail. Just waiting for you to not come back again, so they can have the gym all to themselves. Of course we all love a little space when working out and having the option of whatever piece of cardio we may want to jump on. But this year, I challenge you to take someone new under your wing and get them to commit like you have. Help them change their life like you have and make them feel welcome! Help someone with their resolution and in the long run maybe you will have created a resolution for yourself. Happy New Year my Fitness Friends! May this year treat you well!
