The most frustrating part of joining a gym

You must be frustrated by this too! I don’t know anyone who has belonged to a “big box” gym who hasn’t experienced this.

So you got to a tipping point with your weight, you joined a gym with hopes you would lose weight. Unsure of how to use the equipment,  you ask the employees to show you a few things. To your surprise, they couldn’t be bothered by your question and need for help. Which is no surprise because most gym staff have ZERO fitness background. Or the other option your met with is to sign up for an appointment with one of the personal trainers, whose schedule is so booked, you have to wait 3 weeks.

By the time 3 weeks rolls around, you have become so frustrated. You aren’t losing weight, you aren’t seeing any progress. Basically you feel like a failure and ask yourself “what’s the point”.

Stories like those break my heart. I can remember before I received my Exercise Science degree, belonging to a “big box” gym. A friend of mine shared his football weight training program with me. I tried to follow it the best I could, but my form was TERRIBLE. Basically I was doing more harm than good.

When I asked one of the employees, he couldn’t be bothered by my question. He only cared about the clients that would actually pay him for personal training. I can’t hate on his game, most gyms don’t compensate their staff very well. Which exactly the reason DIY gyms (big box gyms) have such a high churn rate.

From my experience early in my fitness journey, I dedicated my time spent in the gym to help everyone who asked me. Moving forward, when I opened Beyond Fit, I vowed to create a facility that not only helps you learn how to exercise but is also a safe haven for anyone who may feel too intimidated to go to a larger gym.
