Have you ever heard someone say…
I’m embarrassed to go to a gym
I’m scared that I won’t fit in
I’m shy
I’m not sure I can do this
I’m too overweight to exercise
I’m out of shape and it’ll be too hard
I’m too fat
I’m too uncoordinated to work out
I’m weak, clumsy, slow, puny, unathletic, or too old, I can’t do that
I never know what to do
I don’t have the right clothes
Is it really worth it……?
Has that person ever been you? If you use any of these in reference to yourself when you think about going to the gym and trying to get in shape, I’d like to give you some alternatives.
Just going to one class to try it out is a step that requires courage and determination
Take pride in your effort, it’s more than most people will do
Join a support network
Share in other’s success and share your success with others
Action equals change
Gain the admiration of those close to you
Experience zero judgment (we’re here getting sweaty too)
Work with coaches who care about you and want you to grow
Be part of community that accepts you for who you are
Experience growth
Make removing obstacles a habit
We understand where you are, and it’s OK…….
We’ll be here when you’re ready
