Do you work out at a gym? Do you ever wonder who else is around you? Do you think about all the potential networking opportunities that could be surrounding you at any given time? Are you in the market for something, anything? Have you ever considered that other gym members, the people around you squatting, benching, curling, extending and even yapping could also possibly be in the market for something, anything? I do all the time. Every time I walk into a gym I wonder why I don’t know the people around me. Sometimes it can be easy to strike up a conversation just being nice and courteous to people to find out you have a lot in common. Doesn’t it feel good to share similar interests and talk about the things you enjoy with someone in between grueling sets or after an intense cardio session? I know it does because only at the gym can we truly appreciate the effort people put into their workouts their fitness level and their fitness aspirations. It’s always good to talk about your workout at the office or out on a work site but unless you are there, you cannot imagine the euphoric feeling, the relief, the stress, the intensity and the overall satisfaction and feeling of contentment a great workout has. We can all talk about it the next day but being there and living the experience is something that no gym member takes for granted. Another great workout is another great start or end to the day. Without our beloved workouts, the day just doesn’t feel the same. It just doesn’t have the same clear minded intensity and feeling of strength that workouts bring all the time and who knows how great workouts feel more than you and everyone else at the gym who pumped up their bodies and mind with adrenaline and endorphins? Not the guys in the office or on a work site who still think they can’t workout simply because they don’t make it a priority. The people around you who know the strength built by struggle and the force built by fortitude working out provides are the ones who can really appreciate what our goals are and why we push so hard for them. These are the people we should get to know more because we have the same purpose, the same desires and want the same healthy lifestyle. We all have friends that don’t share the commitment we have for working out and where are they when you can’t wait to hit the weights, dive into that pool or get relentless with your cardio? They might be around, or they might not be but do you know who is, the others who have the same capacity and desire for fitness as you do and do you know where you can find these running mates? At your gym, in your gym maybe even just a few steps away from you the last time you were there. It may be difficult to strike up a conversation with a complete stranger but what if there is a better way to get to know who is at your gym or other local gyms in your neighbourhood without having to think about a conversation right on the spot.
