And as if this wasn’t bad enough...
There are 13 more reasons why you won't
get in shape at a health club:
Reason #1. The chrome and fern crowd. This means that a lot of the equipment at a health club looks pretty, but doesn't get you in shape. Most health club equipment (especially the chrome machines) could be melted down and given away without diminishing the value of the club one iota.
At our center, every piece of equipment gets you in shape. Nothing is for show. If the equipment didnt work, we wouldnt have it.
Reason #2. The meat market crowd. Single people who are either lonely or in desperate need of a date, go to health clubs to look for people to "pick-up."
At our center, you are not distracted by people who are interested in a date. You get in shape while you're here, and if you need a date, you find him/her elsewhere.
Reason #3. The gym bunny crowd. Whats a gym bunny? A gym bunny is a special type of person who wears spandex tights and a leotard, then bounces around from machine to machine trying to get everyones attention.
At our center, no spandex allowed! Especially the extra tight ones that are 2 sizes too small.
Reason #4. The young crowd. Without a doubt, most of the people who train at health clubs are young men and women who have never really been out of shape. The majority of people who want and need to get in shape are older than 21. But because of the young crowd, people who are over 30 usually dont feel comfortable in a health club.
At our center, We have one 65 year-old client. One 62 year-old client. 2 in their 50's and 3 in their 40's. None of them would feel comfortable in a health club.
Reason #5. The mirror-gazing crowd. Although there is nothing inherently wrong with looking at yourself in the mirror, it is difficult to be around people who never leave the mirror. You'll find a lot of mirror-gazers in health clubs.
At our center, you might look in the mirror to see if you're lifting technique is correct. But you are not posing.
Reason #6. The scream, grunt and groan crowd. When you are trying to work out, it isn't pleasant to have someone standing a few feet away, screaming and yelling as he lifts his weights.
At our center, you don't hear loud screaming. And no one is slamming weights on the floor.
Reason #7. The equipment hog crowd. These are the people who sit on "their" machine so that you dont slow down "their" workout.
At our center, everyone is like family. Everyone gets along with everyone else. If you are being trained privately, you never have to wait. If you are trained in a group of two or three, you'll never wait longer than 15 seconds!
Reason #8. The sweat hog crowd. It's no fun using a bench that someone just sweated on, and didn't wipe clean.
At our center, we keep the equipment super clean. We show respect & courtesy for the next workout person by doing this.
Reason #9. The steroid crowd. Being around people on steroids is scary. You never know what will cause Mr. Testosterone to blow his (or her) cool.
At our center, no one takes steroids.
Reason #10. The macho bodybuilder crowd. This is the crowd that intimidates people with their size. People fear that weight training will give them huge, ugle, grotesque-looking muscles.
At our center, on one intimidates anyone. As your trainer we are "down to earth." We are interested in getting you in shape, not impressing you with our accomplishments.
Reason #11. The deal-gabber crowd. This is the crowd that tries to sell everyone who comes in the door something they don't need.
At our center, some people invest in supplements that they want and need, but it is their choice and they are not pushed.
Reason #12. The plastic crowd. This is the crowd with the phony laugh and the plastic smile.
At our center, we laugh, smile & have fun, but it's for real!
Reason #13. The "expert" crowd. This is the crowd of trainers, teachers, and "experts" - who think they know how to train someone because they have a training certificate from a weekend workshop.
At our center, our clients know that a training certificate doesn't mean anything if you can't get people in shape. When they see the results they get and start to understand our exclusive training principles--like how to keep the body safe by using proper lifting and breathing techniques--they realize we are the most qualified trainers in town.
