The Struggle Many People Have Going to the Gym
Working out can be a difficult task to get yourself to do. One of the biggest reasons people talk themselves out of working out is due to the fact they feel either uncomfortable at the gym, or it’s easier to just not leave your home. Many feel they might be embarrassed because there are so many people at the gym watching them. This is understandable because not everyone is a so-called “gym rat.”

Sign Up for a Simple Gym Membership
A big reason for people to turn away from gyms is the cost. Sure, there are plenty of extensive gyms out there that charge over $20 per month or even more for a membership. These fitness centers have a lot going for them with perks and other amenities, but there are also simple gyms with all the basic equipment you need for low-cost memberships around $10 per month. We encourage you to choose the simple gym membership to get started.
Start off Small
Many have the mistake of thinking that they must drop everything and go to the gym every single day of the week. Well, there are those people who do go every day, but this is not recommended, especially if you’re just starting to workout or get back into a routine. Start with one or two days per week early before work or later in the evening when there are less crowds.
Another idea when you’re heading to the gym is to start off with simple exercises and weightlifting routines. Don’t overdo it, or you’ll end up straining yourself and getting injured.
Try Gym Alternatives
There are plenty of alternatives to going to the gym. You don’t need to sign up for a gym membership if you’re that uncomfortable with it, or you’re looking to save some money. You can exercise and workout in the comfort of your own home. If this is an option for you, we encourage you to grab some small equipment, dumbbells, and plates to workout on your own.
At Biggins Iron, we provide dumbbells, training sets of plates, and other tools to help re-stock gyms and deliver personal weights to individuals. If you’re looking to bring weightlifting into your garage or home, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
