Free Weight Room

Fitness has grown to a multibillion dollar industry. The idea of fitness has influenced millions of lives whether the correlation was as a career, lifestyle, or an occasional hobby. People globally compete in bodybuilding, physique, and powerlifting meets earning thousands of dollars depending on their successes. Though they seem pointless at first, even the sixty second long infomercials on television advertising the new and approved anywhere gym equipment or perfect diet has made the viewer at least contemplate their health. People often confuse fitness as a sole concept of either exercising or dieting, but fitness depends immensely on both. Some people in the fitness industry manipulate diet and exercise to create the body stature they desire.

The regular guy you see in the gym, whose level of fitness doesn’t directly impact his profession, may feel like it is not his place to embark upon a strength training program. However, strength training is just as suited to the person who wants to be able to carry a flowerpot from one end of their garden to the other as it is to the strongman who dreams of breaking the world record for furthest anvil toss. Of course, the strength training program of the former may not be quite as intense as that of the latter, but I think that’s part of the beauty of health and fitness. The gym is full of different people of different levels of fitness, all trying to better themselves at a rate which is comfortable for

The first reason is it increases your physical work capacity. It also helps you to be able to complete daily activities easier. With weight training you will be able to work harder and longer than you ever have before.

I walk in and hear the stereo blaring with rock or hard rap, I know I’m in the right place. The sound of the bar getting racked, jump ropes smacking on the ground, and people yelling at each other to get the weight up. When life’s coming at me full blast and I can’t handle it, when I’m about ready to just quit, I turn to the weight room. I can take my anger, my sadness, or any of my other struggles I have out in the weight room. When I enter the room with any of these emotions, the weight room helps me get my mind right and conquer the day. It's like my mood completely shifts and everything is okay again. The weight room is the my medicine for

Many people look for an activity that will better them in every way possible; weightlifting is the greatest activity in the world for such goals! Weightlifting yields so many benefits and it can improve the quality of life for anyone who can do it. Weightlifting is one of the activities that, in conjunction with other exercise and proper diet, will improve overall health, physical performance, and mentality.

Do you even lift bro? If you don’t that's okay, but there is more than meets the eye about weightlifting. Many people who may not have much knowledge about weightlifting may say all it does is help you build muscle and lose weight and that you have to eat healthy along with the training. But there is more to lifting weights than just that. There are benefits and drawbacks of weightlifting. Ones that affect the body physically and mentally whether is positive or negative, the use of supplements like protein powders, steroids, and the addictions that become of it, and there are more ways besides weight lifting to get the body you want or that weight goal a person may be trying to reach.

The public weight room will not be our main source of revenue, but just another offering that will hopefully get our name in the community and draw interest in our other sport specific programs. Although the public weight room is not our main concern of business, it will be offered to anyone above the age of sixteen. Anyone between sixteen and eighteen will need to get their parents to sign a liability form before acceptance. This weight room will look to draw in the more experienced and serious strength training clientele and athletes who are serious about bettering their bodies, but do not or can not spend the money or time for the serious sport specific training which we, at Chi-Town Elite, specialize

The section where I saw the most determination was while observing the cardio room. During my observations I noticed there was no social interaction whatsoever. People were just concentrated on doing their workout and getting the results that they were seeking. One example of this taking place was when I was observing a woman who looked about 30-40 years old. She had earphones on as she was doing her routine. She was wearing exercise appropriate

The biggest flaw that I believe planet fitness possesses is the fact that they live by the policy “do not cater to body builders,” so that they can create the dream of a “judgement free zone”. I am about to put a huge hole into the logic of this policy. There is no such thing as “judgment free”. Judgement and opinion are natural processing agents within the human mind. Everyone judges everyone whether it is acknowledged that they are doing so or not. Also, if it’s a “judgment free” zone, how come the gym is full of illustrations and slang words directed towards a stereotypical bodybuilder? Planet Fitness is being judgmental their selves. By keeping to this policy, Planet Fitness is not only making itself the laughing stock of the fitness industry, but it is also losing a large, plentiful amount of potential customers. Now that I’ve gotten that flaw out of the way, my second biggest frustration with Planet Fitness is the food and candy the facility offers. When people sign up for the gym, they are also signing a personal contact with their selves to be a better, heathier version of their selves. This process involves not only working out, but it also involves dieting, creating a balanced meal plan based on their goals, and being able to say no to eating poorly all the time and instead

Millions of students across the nation spend countless mornings and late nights in the weight room trying to achieve something greater. Weight rooms, much like the one I grew to know here in Aberdeen, are the beginning to so many dreams coming true. The bright lights and loud music invite you into a place of team building and hard work.

Seeing and tasting the gym are two completely different things, one is pleasurable and the other is revolting. It is no question that the revolting sense out of the two is tasting the gym. In other words, it is disgusting. The bitter taste of blood sporadically flows into your mouth whenever you fall and cut your gums. Another common taste is the tart taste of sweat dripping off your nose into your mouth, symbolizing a hard work out. Sometimes, if you are really lucky, you get the repulsive mixture of both. How

CrossFit is constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity. All CrossFit workouts are based on functional movements, and these movements reflect the best aspects of gymnastics, weightlifting, running, rowing and more. These are the core movements of life. They move the largest loads the longest distances, so they are ideal for maximizing the amount of work done in the shortest time. Intensity is essential for results and is measurable as work divided by time—or power. The more work you do in less time, or the higher the power output, the more intense the effort. By employing a constantly varied approach to training, functional movements and

Before this movie, bodybuilding was taken as amusing. Bodybuilding appeared in the back of comic books and was referenced to people that were insecure. It had a bad stigma to it and made these people seem as though they were freaks and fools. However, Pumping Iron had made it social acceptable and inspired people during the late 70s and early 80s to start going to the gym. The film takes on the role of going through each individual’s life and shows that they

In today’s busy world, it can be hard to find the time to even think about one’s fitness, let alone actually do anything to maintain it. The average person has school, work, family, pets, and many more distractions in their life to ensure their fitness is left on the backburner. However, when the thought of exercise does eventually enter their mind, the thought that often comes forefront is that of the gym. The concept of a gym is simple, populate a building with the necessary equipment for a variety of physical activities, attracting people who want to get that perfect body or even just get back in shape. However, many people who have never frequented a gym often come up with a plethora of reasons not to go.

Weight training originated in the Egyptian-Greek era. Since war was common in those days, weight training was a tool to gain muscle and stamina. It wasn’t until the early 1900’s did a man named Eugene Sandow change the way people viewed bodybuilding. In those days, weightlifters were called “strongmen”. These “strongmen” entertained people with their displays of great strengths by lifting animals and pulling carts. Many “strongmen” were overweight with meaty limbs, in which today’s society would view as “overweight”. It wasn’t until Sandow came along that the concept of weightlifting changed. Sandow was able to display great acts of strength, but unlike the “strongmen”, had an appealing physique to the public. His physique drew people in by the masses. People became intrigued with weightlifting and many researchers began to study the sport. Through their research, they
