This two level gym also has other amenities such as a full sized swimming pool, racquetball court, aerobic room, and full locker rooms with showers. The fitness center

Fitness is in. The percentage of people belonging to health clubs and gyms has doubled over the past 20 years. More growth is expected, fueled by an aging Baby Boomer generation in search of eternal youth and the reality that regular exercise can prevent or control diseases that are driving health care costs relentlessly upward. The 24/7 fitness opportunity is the newest model of fitness centers today.

Every day, I go to school, do homework, make sure to finish my chores, hang out with my friends, play sports, etc. Yet on my free time, I love to go to the gym and lift weights, which is an activity that is just as strenuous as what I do throughout the day. While most of my peers spend all their extra time at the beach, the gym is my personal sanctuary.

Are you tired of the same old exercise routine? Maybe you bought a gym membership as a New Year’s Resolution to get in better shape, but have used it only a handful of times, or not at all. (Haven’t we all?)

I never understood having gym class in middle school. Having to change into athletic clothes and then spend 40 minutes having a teacher explain an activity to you that you will never have enough time left in class to actually complete. But the worst part of gym class was the hell that was the locker rooms. Having to strip myself down, completely vulnerable, in front of all of my peers is one of the most terrifying things I have done in my life. It was even more terrifying as I wasn’t comfortable with my body. I didn’t have what I believe the picture perfect body was and I could’ve sworn all of my classmates did. I had curves and bumps. I had enough muscle to compete with any of the boys in my grade. I dreaded gym class with every fiber in my being and many times refused to get changed until all of my classmates were already out in the gym. I waited until they were all finished to go back and get changed back into our uniforms at the end of the day. That was the plan that Thursday; talk to Mrs. Bohaker until everyone left for dismissal, then go get changed. It almost worked, until I realized I had a meeting after school and needed to get changed quickly. So I rushed into the gym

The gym is a good place to meet and see different kinds of individual. I found this place really amazing because on the spot you can see if the person is just starter or a bodybuilding guru. It's also hilarious to hear someone grunt on the top of his lungs to lift a couple of pounds on dumbbell curl exercise while others relentlessly throw weights around to show others how "intense" their workout is.

When people consider whether to exercise or not they usually land on which choice is more convenient. I find that the easiest way to motivate myself to go to the gym, is to go to a place with air conditioning and focus on cardio. This is to say, sometimes a great starting point is doing nothing necessarily strenuous but simply moving and making the heart and lungs work a bit harder than usual. I also find that despite understanding the benefits of exercise, I rarely find myself self-motivated to go to a gym or other exercise related location. I, myself am aware that the excuse that it takes too much time, or too much effort, to exercise is a realistic concern, but it has an equally grounded solution which is to simply move whenever one can. The terms exercise and gym can have very negative connotations which bring to mind muscle bound body builders and those training for marathons.

“click”, “BAHHHHHH” ,“HELP!”, all of these sounds are just as common in the gym as the clanking of weights. The snap of a picture, the yelling of a powerlifter, and the call for help from an inexperienced lifter are all heard within the first few seconds of stepping into a crowded gym. Some people believe that a gym is nothing more than a dirty room full of girls trying to get in shape, sweaty meatheads, and a variety of other stereotypes such as “tornadoes” (people who leave the weights messy) and “accessorist” (someone who spends more on their accessories than their gym membership). Believe it or not, there are a decent amount of truths behind these stereotypes and there are an unlimited number of different types of people you encounter at the gym. Part of the joy in going to the gym is the

As I got an invitation to go to open gym with my friends, my main thoughts were, “I hope I can get some new skills tonight.” Little did I know, my thoughts about four hours later would be, “I have never been so upset, angry, or disappointed in my life.” As I walked into the cold, noisy gym, I was prepared to achieve my round off back handspring back tuck. I assured myself that I would be able to do it successfully. I wished that the ground was as soft and comforting as the dark trampoline with orange and blue bumpers. Seeing girls doing back walkovers on the thin, beige, four- inch beam, swinging their bodies around the slippery, uneven bars, and flipping themselves into the sky blue, squishy mat made me tell myself, “If they can do that,

After the conclusion of this course, I plan on continuing my goal due to the physical and mental benefits it gives. Over this course, it has helped me increase my attendance at the gym and it has made me feel more confident. I have developed several new behaviors within my plans. For example, I am used to writing a journal about going to the gym and recording my sleeping patterns. I also developed the behavior of telling myself to focus on myself rather than the unwarranted critique of others. I can practice the behavior of keeping a sleep diary not only for the purpose of going to the gym but to understand my own sleep patterns and even for my own amusement record dreams. I can also use distraction from others not only in a gym scenario to help myself feel confident in a variety of situations like giving a presentation or speaking my controversial beliefs around those who may disagree. I will naturally be reinforced because both of the outcomes of these are positive. Keeping a sleep diary and adding on records of my dreams will personally be enjoyable since I find dreams to be fascinating. Also, having high confidence will naturally make me a more happy and productive person. I will be able to feel comfortable in my own skin and not allow others to make me feel anything less than contempt.

My favorite sports and fitness activities are gymnastics, hiking, and biking, I also enjoy track and field events, soccer and swimming. Gymnastics is a sport that I have participated in since I was 3 years old. It has always been my favorite sport, but last year, I injured my leg before a competition and I had to stop gymnastics for a while. Since then, I have gone to physiotherapy for my leg and knee, but I have not yet been allowed to go back, full-time to my gymnastics team. But in the time frames that I’ve had without gymnastics, I’ve focused on other physical activities that have helped me stay fit without gymnastics, like hiking and biking. Which my physiotherapist had told me to do more often to help strengthen certain muscles in my leg. Some other sports that I enjoy are soccer and track and field, as well as swimming. In the earlier grades, I had been on soccer teams and track teams, on and off, but now I still like to take part in these activities just for fun.

Every year, a great number of people make a new year’s fitness resolution to motivate themselves to shed a few pounds and get fit. Especially after the holiday season, one would usually see a new batch of individuals at the gym counter trying to avail a gym membership. A gym membership can cost thousands of pesos for a six-month or a one-year contract and a lot of individuals pay a premium for these membership fees only to realize their shortcomings a few months later. Most fitness experts say that working out once a week is not enough to help you get in top shape. Hitting the gym thrice a week would most likely produce the best results and at the same time get one’s money’s worth. The main formula to be a motivated gym-goer is to spend more time at the

The veteran gym-goer proceeded to show her more novice friend how to use the cardio machine to achieve a more effective workout. After the initial tutorial, they both started working, and they seldom spoke for the remainder of their workout, their interaction limited to her easing up her friend’s difficulty level. Once they had finished with their machines, the veteran wiped hers and her friend’s machines down – thereby acting as an agent of socialisation and introducing him to a fitness centre norm – before they went to do some stretching and cool-down. This area seemed to be the source of most of the conversations in the fitness centre. Because people were less focused on their exercise, they were freer to interact with each other and did so.
