Recently, I had the chance to chat with a group of people about their experience at big box gyms. Here are some of the opinions picked out of the conversation:
“Commercial” gyms, such as 24 hour fitness, can be an overwhelming place to try to get in shape. If you are just getting into working out, it can be intimidating. You have girls wearing TOO LITTLE of clothing while working out on a bike going 1 MPH while reading the latest version of Cosmo, or you have the meat head group of guys who think they are the next Mr. Universe, grunting and sweating their way through a workout that really is not making much of an impact. You walk in, see these situations, and get discourage. So you go take the farthest elliptical machine and start getting cardio, until you see a leg machine open up, then you jump on that doing light weights that don’t really benefit you. If this is you, don’t waste your money on your GYM PASS!
The commercial gym setting, such as 24 hour fitness, is not for everyone. There are some people that benefit from having people stare at them, but there are some that are truly throwing away 20, 30, 50 dollars a month. I am here to tell you that you DO NOT NEED A GYM! You can get great workouts around your home doing simple things around your house. No big box gym needed!
After talking with this small group, I realized that many people would be interested in a workout program they can do at their own home. If this is something that you would be interested in, email me at info@nintemanfitness.com and tell me a) why you prefer working out at home vs. the gym, b) how many times per week you can dedicate to working out and the length of time and c)name, age, goals you want to achieve.
If I get enough emails (actually, if one person wants it I will do this!) I will create a newsletter that will delivered to your inbox that will have workouts you can do, at home, no (or little) equipment, and NO DISTRACTIONS! Of course, this newsletter would be free of charge, so you really have nothing to lose. Drop me a line and let me know what you want!
