Summary

Matt & Scott discuss how to behave properly in a gym, because to many don't respect the equipment or the people around them. Don't be that guy (or gal).

Take care of the equipment and put it back where you got it. Treat the equipment with the respect it's due.

Wipe down your bench and similar equipment. Put the weights away properly (right location, and lips out on the weight tree). 

If you're in a big box gym, don't give others unsolicited advice. If they ask for advice, give it--if you're a coach, this person might become a client. If you receive advice, don't act like you want it. You can be polite, but if that person gives it the second time, that person needs to know you don't want or need your advice.

Headphones can be a useful tool in gyms like this to tell people you're not interested in talking to them. If there is a chance of good coaching, however--if you're in a good gym--then don't wear the headphones. Enjoy the fact that you're in a gym where you can receive excellent coaching. 

Don't break up the blocks of chalk--they should be block. 

Don't use baby powder. 

Act like a professional in the gym. You know what you're doing. You know why you're there. Act like it.

Hey listeners, this is normally when we would talk about a holiday sale or how

0:07.4

now is the right time to start with online coaching because of how much money

0:10.5

you can save. However, as I met with our marketing team earlier this month to

0:14.8

discuss promotional ideas, we found ourselves focusing on the ideal outcomes

0:19.3

for people who want to work with a coach. And that called to mind how many of

0:23.0

our clients got into this for the form corrections and ended up making real

0:27.8

life transformations through strength training. We realized that the ideal

0:31.9

barbell logic client is not afraid of hard work. They don't just have goals, they

0:36.5

are driven by continual self-improvement. They pursue strength because they

0:40.7

care deeply about the people who they love who depend on them. We know that

0:45.6

price is always a consideration when it comes to deciding to sign up for

0:48.9

something. But our successful clients tell us that in addition to carefully

0:53.0

deciding where to invest their money, they're also very intentional about how they

0:57.3

invest their time. And when you care about your time that much, there is fear

1:01.6

that you could waste your time and not see the results you want. If any of this

1:05.6

sounds like you, I'm here to make you a promise. You give us six months of two to

1:10.6

four workouts a week and if you don't see changes in your strength or form, we

1:14.8

will give you all of your money back. That's all six months. The worst case

1:19.3

scenario is it ends up costing you nothing. The best case scenario is you invest

1:24.1

in yourself and you get exactly what you want out of your training. The only

1:28.0

risk is about on yourself. It's time to place that bet and put your money where

your goals are. Get matched with your coach now at www.barbelllogic.com slash
