"Turn up and do what you can. No one ever regrets a session "I agree. The most important thing is to actually turn up. Anything after that is a bonus for the majority of people. | |||

"Do not have sex with your personal trainer. Do not attempt to pick up women in the gym." Good point well brought out | |||

"Agree on the protein, other than for very brief periods I’ve never tracked protein, hard training will make you crave more of it anyway so just listen to body The most optimal routine will be less productive than a routine you enjoy Learn perfect form early on, easier to learn it straight away than re learn it later, I’ve only ever had one injury in nearly 30 years and that was off a bench not being centred right in the smith machine not from form as I make form a priority over weight, everyone I see injured at my gym trains with utter dogshit form " Yes, learning perfect form early on is important too | |||

"Should people track every gram of protein? Our advise is go to the gym even if you don't feel like it, you'll feel better for it after." Hi _aomilatte, yes, you are right there, you will feel better for it too | |||

"What advice would you potentially give a new gym goer? I would tell them that you wouldnt need to jump straight into tracking every gram of protein, you dont have to optimise that yet, just get in there and get comfortable in the space, eat more protein in general, but nothing crazy, just get into the gym on consistent basis "Decide what it is that you want to achieve and set reasonable goals. And find a way to make it enjoyable, or you won’t stick to it. Group classes work for some, or get a gym buddy who has similar goals. Research what you need to do to achieve your goals. If it’s weight loss, you could be very surprised at what you actually should do compared with what you’ve always thought you should be doing. | |||

Beanie Baby Joe keeps losing badly and after one humiliating defeat too many he walks away from the ring... forever? Then, after however many months it takes for your transformation, you return twice the size, single digit body fat, veins popping as... Juiced Joe Beans. From face to heel. | |||

"What is the fixation of going to the gym? Surely you get more out of running in the open air than on a treadmill Riding a bike outside Playing a sport like tennis badminton or squash Going swimming You can buy all the equipment for above activities for less than the price of a year’s membership at a top gym. And if it’s the social aspect you want, there are all sorts of clubs you can join. Prove me wrong " Guess it depends entirely on what your goals are. Purely cardio, sure - a run is nicer than a treadmill. But you won't get better at deadlifting while riding a bike. You don't have to like the gym, but no problem if others do. There's room for both! | |||

I cycle or run there, but the gym gives me the strength training that cardio doesn't. And I get to catch up with people who have become friends at least four times each week. Show me any costing that says weekly/monthly subscription for 'clubs' four times a week (assuming you can even find them locally - I can't!) would come in at less than £30 per month. | |||

I totally agree, it compliments other forms of exercise like cycling. Also a great place to meet other similarly minded folks. x | |||
