If that’s not a commendable feat then I don’t know what is? You’re taking the steps to solve the problem. You realize you’ve got a problem, it sounds like a healthy lifestyle can help you solve that problem. You have everything in the world to be proud about! Post form checks as you progress for the kind folks of the interwebs to assist you. learn what you can about form from the book and other resources, and just starting doing the exercises.That need not involve argumentation or assholishness. be assertive and state your goal is to do these particular exercises in this particular program and ask for instruction.Seems like a beginner is the perfect candidate for instruction on barbell exercises precisely for the reason that they will be using light weights and so be less prone to injury, and do not have any ingrained poor form issues from prior training to overcome.

It begs the question of who would it be appropriate to teach free weight exercises to? 'Advanced' leg press machine users with more strength likely to injure themselves trying to do barbell squats (for example) with more weight but poor form? Someone who has 6 months of bicep curls under their belt? A black belt in brofu? Sounds like it's just easier for them to push people to machines. I question the degree to which they are educated (or the correctness of that education) if they believe barbell exercises as used in starting strength can't be taught to beginners. What's that? You're changing jobs/apartments and this gym is no longer near where you live/work? That's a bummer, we'll keep enjoying your fee for the rest of the year! If they get hurt or need to rest a few months for an injury, too bad again. If they decide they don't like the gym a few months down the line, well too bad. Those who train all year around are stuck making this big upfront payments that tie them down to a specific place and time. This is mostly to catch those who train for a few weeks and quit. That's 360 bucks, but if you get the yearly GOLD subscription instead, only this week, there's a big discount and there's a video renting subscription included and one month is on us! 460$ for 13 months! That's super cheap right? No, actually they are the reason gyms have been pushing toward upfront, year long subscriptions instead of the more friendly monthly ones: Instead of mocking and taking bets on how long they will last, give them support to help them achieve their goals. Lifting, training, building a healthier body - it's something we should encourage. Use it as an opportunity to show them the ropes without the usual "You're doing that wrong, let me show you." Nobody likes that shit, especially people who are new and already feeling self-conscious. Offer a spot - or better yet, ask them for a spot.
And if you see someone doing that shit, call them out on it.īe the person that welcomes these new people to the gym. They state it and wear it as a badge of honor - "I go to the gym year round and this is my chance to remind everyone!"ĭon't be that person. They "give them 2 weeks before they are gone".
They mock people for the "stupid" things they are doing/wearing/weighing/lifting.
The gymbros and brolitas on your timelines start to moan and groan about all the new people at the gym.
