Haha yes the pricing really tells you all you need to know about how many people struggle to make exercise a habit...

Gym I go to is near to a university so always filled with college age kids. I find it super motivating. Lifting more than them has become life affirming for me :)

Spotted an 18 year old the other day that hit a PR at 315lbs on bench. I bench 405lbs and at that exact moment I decided I have to hit 495lbs. 405 had been my goal for decades. I went from I've hit the most I will ever need to "the journey continues".

"people there will not bite you or shame you" I have found the gym to be filled with the most grim looking people that transform into the kindest, happiest people as soon as you say hello. No one is there to judge anyone. You are 100% right
