Gary here, when people finally decide they want to get in shape...
Most will join a big commercial fitness center BUT........
Most fitness centers make NO sense at all. Not to mention any names, but mainly the one with the yellow and purple logo and the one that never closes.
More often than not:
- they don't care whether you get results..
- nobody knows your name..
- nobody's telling you what to do or supervising you...
- and most importantly, all those machines are basically useless.
machines (weight and cardio machines) have a fixed range of motion. They force your body into an unnatural way of moving.
Plus they only work one or two bodyparts........that's the LEAST effective way to workout if fat loss and getting fit is your goal.
The fact of the matter is most people will be spinning their wheels on treadmill/ellipticals and the "ab" machines.
Those things are a waste of time......and it's proven - just look at these "gyms" in January......they're waaaayyy less crowded come April or even sooner.
And, even if you see some familiar faces, they look exactly the same as they did when they started.
You see, back in the day there were little to no machines in gyms.......
Gyms were still gyms and all you'd see were:
- Barbells
- Weight plates
- Dumbbells
- Pull up bars
- Lots of floor space to jump rope, do body weight exercises, etc.
That's what got great results, and still does!! Just the basics and HARD WORK. Some call it "Old School Training" and that's how people stayed in excellent shape.
There wasn't an obesity problem then........until some guys on the top floor realized there's money in the whole "fitness" thing.
So they started building big gyms and turned them into "fitness centers".........
This is where it all went bad, because fitness centers are not gyms.
Fitness centers are comfortable.....they make it easy for anyone to exercise. And that's the worst part......
By making it easy, they made it ineffective.
Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have people going to these fitness centers than sitting on the couch, but then again, most people that sign up end up sitting back on their couch in a couple months.
Here's the deal if you want to see REAL, Lasting results:
Your workout should be challenging and tough. And it's supposed to require some skill to get results.
Any other way just won't cut it.
Just like the "get rich quick" schemes will never die.....neither will the "fitness and diet-made-easy" programs.
And I want to let you know not all workout "places" are created equal....
A fitness center is where money is made, Gyms, like TFT is where results come from.
Peace out!
