Spotlight is great for planning, developing, managing and implementing your workout schedule. The interactive benefits and features will help you stay the course and motivate you at the right times and when you need it most! Finding out who is at the gym is a part of the evolution and innovative changes the gym world is facing and those who do not adopt these changes will be left behind! Let’s take a quick look at who and why gym sharks need to use Spotlight!

It makes sense to start out with someone who has just signed up to the gym for the first time! What an exciting, exhilarating and possible scary experience! You signed up at the gym because you want to get into better shape right? It could be because you want to gain size and muscle to be more of a force on the school team, or it could be because you want to impress that certain special someone or even because you just saw Pumping Iron for the first time and got pumped up by the stories and wanted to find out what these men and women went through to get to their peak in their own fitness journeys. It could also be because you started to learn about how working out can change your body and mind for the better and what to find the best version of yourself. You signed up. You’re ready to go. Next step is to download the Spotlight app and find out who is at each of the gyms you can go to. Don’t know what I mean? Let’s say for example you are a member at Goodlife, LA Fitness, Anytime Fitness or any other gym that has multiple locations. What you can do next is something you’ve never been able to do before and that is to customize your workout experience like never before. Let’s say at this point you just want to visit the gym and maybe meet people or learn through interacting with others at the gym what some workout strategies are or you know people from your school that go to a gym and you want to know when they are at the gym and which gym they are at so you can meet them and maybe even get a better grip of some exercise strategies. With the Spotlight app, even before you leave your house, you can find out who is at the gym and get an actual idea of which demographic is represented the most at each gym. For example, if you are a male between the ages of 16-25 and you are just starting out learning how to work out, you can find the gym near you with more people like you to be able to surround yourself with your peers to hopefully find some new workout buddies or at least talk to others just like you to learn a new work out strategy or two. Or, you can even send a message to someone who is also looking for a workout buddy and learn about fitness together. You can do this with Spotlight! Better yet, with your Spotlight app, you can find all your friends at the gym and just go to the one near-by that everyone else decided to go to that day. Spotlight provides you with the information you need to decide which gym is best suited for you on any day based on your needs and wants. Let’s use another example. So here you are, at the gym, so much equipment, so many people busy in their own world doing their best to crush their workout routines. Then it hits you, you may not know exactly where to begin or what to do. The trainers and staff offer to help out after attending an introductory session but you want advice right now! So you search the gym for the people or even someone, anyone, who seems to know what they’re doing. After a few minutes you realize that finding someone to help you may be harder than you think. Everyone is so focused on their set, on their phones or is already talking to their friends. That’s when you remember your friend from school said they would be at the gym right about now and can show you a thing or two about working out. So you call them … no answer they are probably in the middle of a set. You also remember some people at school talking about this new Spotlight app that’s lets you find out who is at the gym! You download the app, search the gym you’re at, find you friend at the gym as well as more of your friends! Now you’re on the hunt, all your friends are here and you finally find them. You and some of your friends start talking and decide to learn how to work out together. Now the scariness is removed and you get to soak in the exciting and exhilarating part of the gym that everyone loves.           

What about for that person who wants to get in and out ASAP. You know those days, right? You know there are occasions when your 1 hour workout needs to get condensed to 45 minutes because it will be a busy night full of …….whatever fills your imagination! So you jump on your Spotlight app and notice the gym near-by that you never usual go to is not as busy as the one that you do usually go to! Boo-ya! Now you can jump in your car and hit that gym which since is not as busy, can have all the equipment you need waiting for you. This could never be done before. Without the Spotlight app, you probably would have hit your usual gym and have been waiting for all the equipment you want to use leaving you high and dry! Remember you wanted to get a 1 hour workout done in 45 minutes which means there is no time to wait for equipment. With no wait times and distractions, you get your typical and amazing workout done on time and now have more time for …….whatever fills your imagination!   

Now this one is for the ladies! I’ve spoken to a lot of ladies and realized that some days all you want to do is workout alone or with your friend and not be surrounded by so many other people, the real answer is guys but we’ll just call it people! Some days all you want to do is plug yourself into your favourite music list or podcast and sharpen your strength, focus and mind. You want to stretch, run, lift and just sweat out all the bad toxins and energy that can accumulate on some days without any interruptions. What you could do is visit your usual gym and hope the scene is just as you wanted. Or, you can jump on your Spotlight app and actually see who is at each of the gyms around you. You discouver that today your typical gym is full of exactly the type of people you didn’t want to see and also do notice a gym 5 minutes further away is not as busy. Easy decision right? You feel so much better because you just avoided a night out at the gym that would not have given you the sense of relaxation and relief that you will have now. You hit the gym and are at peace with the surroundings and execute your workout plan perfectly thanks to only the right crowd around and thanks for Spotlight.

Are you a more experienced gym shark and have been around the old chess press block for years or even decades?! You remember a time when people put their weights back and were more courteous. You can’t think of why everyone is in such a rush and just want to enjoy your workout routine without being asked repeatedly…….”How many more sets do you have on this one?” Spotlight gives you the advantage of knowing who is at the gym so you can make the choice of visiting one or the other based on demographic which gives you great insight into how your workout routine will be. Notice a lot of younger guys at the gym? Does that mean all the areas you want to use will be busy for hours? What about a different gym 5 or 10 minutes further away that has less people there which mean more room for you and your well defined biceps?! It possible and all you have to do is download the Spotlight app and gain the advantage of knowing which demographic is most popular at the gym at any given time so you can make the choice to visit whichever gym to want to.     

If you are trying to hit the gym and interact, network and learn from your peers, you need to download the Spotlight app. If you are looking to meet others that share your interest in fitness, drive to compete and enthusiasm to live a healthy lifestyle, gain the advantage of knowing who is at your gym. The people around you that share common interests can have such an impact on your life if you get to know them and the only way to do that is to share your knowledge in the hopes they will share theirs. It’s time to grow your network at the place where you know there are so many more people like you! It’s time to be someone at the gym.
