Dealing With Beginners In The Gym

Great post from Siouxcountry.com.

“Stay humble…… Don’t laugh at the guy in the corner with 10 inch arms trying to do just one pull up, or the obese woman on the treadmill in front of you who looks like she is about to pass out even though the treadmill is barely moving.

For the average person the gym is intimidating, especially the free weights section. Who knows what the story is behind them, maybe he is a victim of bullying and wants to add size to end those skinny jokes he hears at his expense at work.Maybe she dreams of being a powerlifter, but is too afraid at this time of the free weights section.

When they look in your direction and your eyes meet, make sure they see how much you respect them. You just may be the person who motivates them to go beyond the goals they have set for themselves.”
