No one wants to enter a gym after a long winter of avoiding doing just that, only to glue themselves to the closest cardio machine and hope for the best.Įnter YouTube, the savior to all who hate the gym.
And second, regardless of what many popular gym chains may want members to believe, “gymtimidation” is very real and very miserable.
Why? Well, one, those gyms are just too damn hot for a mid-July workout. So what do you do? Do you get a gym membership and promise that you’ll go every morning right before overspending on a picture-worthy acai bowl? Unfortunately, for all of us late to the gym game (those that didn’t quite follow through on those New Year’s Resolutions but have big plans to crush them next year), that coveted summer body might not be a reality just yet. Whether due to the general decrease in clothing worn or the soaring temperatures that just make everything uncomfortable, people want to look and feel good.
With the official start of summer, the desire to be physically fit and achieve that “beach body” (whatever that is) is at a seasonal high. Editor’s Note: This originally ran in June 2017.
