Summary

In part 2 we delve into gym culture and what we feel needs to change, bad habits of gym goers (our pet hates), whether gyms do enough to teach people what to actually do in the gym, small gyms compared to big gyms, how long you should stay on a basic weight lifting program as a new lifter, when and how to approach more advanced and complex programs, and the lessons you the listener have learnt from years in the gym - a quick fire bit at the end from all your awesome comments from social media. If you enjoyed this 2 part Gym Lessons podcast, please recommend it to a fellow gym goer.

0:00.0	Hey everyone, Bencoma Radio. What's happening? How you doing? So last week we talked about lessons
0:08.4	from the gym and me and Tom knocked heads and sort of said to ourselves, Tom, what have we learned
0:14.7	from our years in the gym, which I think we worked out combined, is sort of 25-ish years sort of
0:21.2	in the gym. I think what I'm 34. Oh, so I've been in the gym like 16 years, Tom. How many years
0:27.4	you've been in the gym? I'm so old. Yeah, I've been like 13 years. Not 14 years, I would have said.
0:36.1	It's 30 years between us. That's not bad. It's a lot of time. It's a lot of reps.
0:43.0	So I then posted on social media and asked you, the listeners, the people that follow me, what
0:50.4	you feel you've learned over the years in the gym. And I've got a load of comments that we're
0:55.2	going to end the show with like a load of quick fire kind of stuff. We've got some other kind of
1:00.2	bigger topics we're going to start the show with today and less Tom before we start. Do you want to
1:06.0	get anything off your chest? Not massively. The only thing I do want to get off my chest is if anyone's
1:13.2	listening to this and you're looking to improve your coaching practice, I'm doing a free webinar
1:19.2	on the 28th so you can check out the link for that in the description. We're going to go through
1:23.9	some of the things that I think coaches need to bear in mind. If you want to help your clients
1:28.8	change, not just in like a 12 week transformation, but 10 years down the line, they're still succeeding.
1:34.8	It's going to be a really cool webinar. I've delivered it once before to a private group.
1:38.5	So nobody that's listening to this unless you're in that group has seen it. It's going to be cool.
1:43.1	It's about an hour long. 28th. Hit the link. Sign up. It'll be good.
1:46.9	So that's the 28th of April, 2021. So if you're listening to this in a week or two's time,
1:54.4	you can maybe contact us for the recording. Otherwise, if you do want to be a nutrition coach,
2:00.8	you know that we will run. We do run the BTN Academy, which is a nutrition education company
2:06.4	into us a year. We open doors and train the next keen bunch of people wanting to be expert
