![]() ![]() Or you can always modify your routine, use other machines or free weights for some exercises. Instead, skip to the next part of your routine and come back later rather than make them uncomfortable. If you’re a regular and someone new is using a machine you normally use, don’t stand there waiting for them to be done. The thing is, those new people are there for the same reasons that we go - for fitness, for health, for a better body and newly-discovered self-confidence. So, instead of being rude to them, please be nice and helpful. ![]() And for them to walk in there and have regulars be mean to them can make their quest for self-betterment feel even more discouraging, if not outright impossible. So mentally, the gym can be an intimidating place. Sometimes these people have low self-esteem and low confidence. Some of these people may be over or underweight, and they just want to look and feel better. Sometimes these people have eating disorders and complicated relationships with food. Those people are at the gym because they made a decision to become a healthier version of themselves - and that is something to be proud of. Don’t be that asshole who makes fun of new gym-goers.

And once the resolutioners fall apart come February (not yours, though!), you can get your favorite machine back, no problem.I’ve been going to the gym for years now. You can always create your very own at-home mini-gym if you’d rather skip the entire building, and go solo. Heading to the pool (where New Year’s resolutioners are less likely to be) means you’re almost guaranteed to get a lane. Taking your workout outdoors, hitting the running and bike trails, is always an option. As one Amodrn editor will tell you, it’s possible to quit your membership and still stay in shape! Hey, whatever we can to get the most out of the limited time we have!Īlternatively, there are plenty of ways to get your fitness on without a gym. Adding performance-enhancing headphones to your workout might even help make those precious moments all the more effective. Running for an hour may seem beneficial and like a great use of your time, but maybe all you need is 20 minutes in the free weights section to really get the workout you need. #ItsCrunchTime #WhatsYourCrunchTimeĪ post shared by Crunch Fitness on at 7:31am PSTīut above all, experts say, it’s how you use your gym time, not necessarily how long you spend there. ![]()
