“Saying ‘I need to get in shape first’ is like wiping before you poop. My brother in Christ, you’ve got the order backwards.”
Hahah, sometimes I like to throw funnies in these posts. hahaha Please let me know if you pity-laughed for me. hahahaI’m so lonely.
Here’s the truth:
Gyms, trainers, and coaches aren’t expecting you to walk in at your peak.
They aren’t at theirs either. We’re all just building a better life for ourselves.
They’re here to show you how — and not let you get lost.
The idea that you have to “earn” your way into a fitness space is total garbage — and it keeps way too many people stuck on the sidelines.
Here’s the tip:
Start where you are — exactly as you are.
- Winded on warm-ups? Cool.
- Haven’t worked out in 6 years? Fine.
- Nervous? Even better — it means you care.
Showing up out of shape isn’t embarrassing.
It’s brave.
And it’s exactly what we’re here for.
Out of shape? Confused? Slightly terrified? Perfect. [join your people.]
See you at the gym,
Jeff
