Afraid of Fitness Centers?
For some of you in Beaufort, walking into a gym might sound like a scary event. The mere thought of setting foot into a fitness center, where people are sweating, making grunting noises, counting their repetitions (“reps”) and judging you is just too much for some to bear. So many people decide to buy a weight loss DVD in the hopes that it will solve all their health, weight loss and fitness problems. But what’s worse is that most people give up on a fitness center before they’ve even started. And it isn’t really because there’s sweat, noise and athletes in the gym… is it?
It’s really about the judgments or perceived judgments that we think come our way at a fitness center and how we think we look. I remember walking into a fitness facility and feeling intimidated. I always thought that while on the premises of a fitness center, my fat jiggled more, or the skinny, fit people were laughing at me, or the lighting would expose all my flaws and faults. I didn’t like the way I looked and hated the way it made me feel. And I resented the very place that could help me feel better about myself… fitness centers. Besides. How was I supposed to think of a bunch of different exercises to do each time I set foot in a fitness center? Do I squat? Do I lunge? Do a push-up? Am I even doing the move properly? More weight? Less weight? More reps? Who knew? I know I didn’t. And walking into Beaufort fitness centers to look silly wasn’t the highest on my list of priorities. Plus, I couldn’t afford a high-priced personal trainer and I didn’t want to pay for a cheaper one who knew just as little as I did.
A long time passed without me doing anything about it… ignorance is bliss, right? Well, not in fitness and not in my case. Actually, ignorance allowed me to eat and drink and spend the gym/trainer money on getting more and more unhealthy. I was at a point where I could barely fit into my clothes anymore and started developing health issues that would definitely grow into serious problems like high cholesterol and blood pressure if I didn’t take care of myself. So, after wrestling with that for a bit, I decided to conquer my insecurities and research the right fitness center in Beaufort for me. This is what I came up with…
I visited a few fitness centers here in Beaufort and decided to get a complimentary assessment at EarthFIT. It was great. Why? Because it was different. I didn’t feel like I was being judged and the EarthFIT staff really listened to my concerns. Unlike the big box gyms that to me, only care about your membership money, the EarthFIT fitness center is more personalized and is 100% results oriented. Larger fitness centers prey on the old me. They survive on taking our money because I would pay for a membership and never show up. That’s not what the EarthFIT fitness center is about. Even better, now that I train at the EarthFIT fitness center, I don’t have to think up exercises on my own and worry about whether I’m doing the right thing. EarthFIT does the thinking for me and I know I’m guided by a true professional. I’m no longer afraid of whether I look silly in front of other people. And get this – the cost is only a fraction of what a personal trainer would be – with a money-back guarantee! You can’t get a better deal than that at a Beaufort fitness center.
