The Rise of Personal Training/Warehouse Gyms

I am a gym rat no doubt. I grew up training in an old warehouse gym that had no AC in the summer, just a big garage door & hardly any equipment. It's no doubt that I am a fan of small independently owned gyms, you can't replace the motivation that comes from that environment. I always go and check out the big franchises as they pop up in every suburb, but I am never motivated or ever have much fun while I am there. I have had many clients tell me that after seeing me every week they are finally motivated to use their gym membership. Motivated for two reasons they know they are going to die if they don't workout before seeing me again & they finally feel like they are learning how to do effective workouts on their own. I definitely think Personal Training/Warehouse Gyms are becoming more and more popular & there are good reasons why.

The Mass Produced Gym
1. Everyone has headphones on
2. People are reading or watching tv to distract themselves from their workout
3. The gym is stocked with Rubber Dumbbells/Plates & cheap nautilus
4. Talking on cell phones during workouts is the norm
6. The trainers have a high turnover rate
7. The most important employee department to the company is their sales team (who cares if you work out, as long as you sign up)
8. Everyone has a membership to these places, but most struggle to go consistently or never go.......I wonder why?

The Rise of Personal Training/Warehouse Gyms
1. Motivation to Train is personal and emotional, your trainer and people you are working out with know you & help to push you past your limits
2. The gym is stocked with useful equipment. You are TAUGHT how to do difficult & progressive exercises that help to challenge and improve your physique
3. The people that work there are passionate about training you & they are committed to the gym
4. You workout with no distractions. It's you and: loud music, pushing yourself to the limit, sweat, pain, your trainer, your teammates, & motivational/painful yelling.
4. Going to these gyms is being motivated to be apart of a team & working out to ACTUALLY improve your physique
