How's that Fancy At Home Gym?
Did you buy a treadmill only for it to become a clothes hanger?
I heard my friend talking the other day about how she bought a Peloton. She was loving it, in a total honeymoon period with it, and then…
School started, sports for the kids started, the family moved, and the Peloton became where she put her jacket.
I know you’re like “all that money though”.
You’re also probably thinking “why is she saying that in front of someone who’s a fitness instructor?”
But we’ve all done it. We’ve all had the gym membership that we pay for and don’t use, the equipment sitting in our garage that’s getting dusty, or the treadmill that becomes a clothes hanger.
I hear the debates all the time. Debating whether or not to invest the money in the gym equipment because you’re not really sure if it’ll get used.
It’s a valid debate and as an instructor, it’s a debate I’ll entertain. I’ll also entertain the debate about joining certain gyms, or even increasing your memberships at certain.
I understand it has to be worth the financial investment.
I know you’re worth the financial investment, but I also know that sometimes you have to run through the practicality of your decisions prior to pulling the proverbial trigger.
Pulling that proverbial trigger is hard because you know it would be discouraging AF if you pull said trigger, only to have to sell the equipment or cancel the membership because they weren’t being used.
It makes you feel small, it makes you feel worthless, and it makes you feel like the goals you’ve set for yourself are completely unrealistic because you can’t make the things you have access to work for you.
Be realistic with your schedule but realize that you’re worth the investment. You’re worth the hard work.
