We would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year from our entire team at the Arnold Sports Festival.
We would also like to take this opportunity to encourage all the bodybuilding and fitness enthusiasts across the globe to please be kind to the new faces we will all soon be seeing at the gym.
While some may see the busy parking lots, the crowded gym floors, and the longer waits for equipment as an inconvenience, we ask that you also recognize that all these things are a direct result of new people stepping outside their comfort zones in an attempt to better themselves.
We know that not everyone who shows up at the gym for the first time on January 1st will stick with it, but we also know that a little bit of kindness, patience, and encouragement can go a long way in helping people stay resilient in the pursuit of their goals.
Lending a helping hand, giving a friendly piece of advice, sharing words of encouragement, or even something as simple as a “hi” and a smile can make a monumental difference to someone that may be struggling with their new goals or just their confidence in an unfamiliar environment.
Setting goals is an integral part of achieving success in the gym, and we hope everyone sets theirs incredibly high for 2023. We just ask that you add being kind to that list of goals.
Be the reason someone doesn’t give up in 2023.
