Signs You May Currently Be In The Wrong Gym
If you’ve found yourself with a membership at another gym facility, some of these may be familiar to you:
- You are surrounded by vain, arrogant men and women, who are constantly staring at themselves in the mirrors
- There are rows of “cardio” equipment, and tons of shiny, muscle-isolating machines
- There are no power-racks, platforms, chains or chalk
- When you ask the staff a training question they either don’t know or cannot back up what they say with a substantial, scientifically proven answer or site a credible source
- There is no useful, scientifically proven information regarding diet, the basic physiology of fat loss or building muscle
- The staff at your gym constantly push you to buy personal training packages
- People gawk at you when you do a floor press, a box squat or if you “miss” on a lift
- People keep to themselves; no one is helpful, no one seems positive
- No one seems to know how to “spot” a lift correctly
- Few if any members (or trainers) know how to correctly execute free weight exercises
- Few if any members or staff know the first thing about effective, optimal programming
- People are going through the motions, but no one seems to be improving physically
- You get yelled at (again) for dropping a heavy dead-lift or a power clean
