Announcement to those looking to get in the gym but might be scared of being too new or are feeling inadequate

"I always say don't be afraid of failure, because how far can you really fall? You found out - to the ground. It's right there. Now you know it isn't anything that should scare you."

"You should be proud that you weren't afraid - not embarrassed that you failed. You could have made excuses not to walk into the door, but you didn't. You knew it would be hard, and it would be uncomfortable, and it might be awkward - and you did it anyway. That's courage. I'm proud of you." - Arnold Schwarzenegger

And I am proud of you too. I am a very friendly and outgoing person and lift in the mornings. I like to get to know everyone around me within reason because I go to the gym to push weight not to chat all day. But I like being a regular and helping wherever I can. I am rooting for everyone I see struggle with a rep, or even some I just see struggling to get through the door in the morning. I don't know you, but im proud of you. I am proud you took steps to better yourself. No one can take that away from you. If you are struggling with feeling new, or upset you aren't benching 225 just yet and look silly. You don't. You will get there with time and dedication. And I will be there and I will be so proud of you when you do.

I love hearing everyone's successes. But it doesn't mean we don't also have failures. Understand that we can only fall so far. Getting up and going right back at it is what makes me so proud of you.

Have a great day all!
