We're approaching a season when gyms around the county will see a rise in members.

If you're a regular gym goer, it might be easy to become frustrated with this sudden change. But try to remember when you were a beginner. Often, new gym goers are uncomfortable with how they look and feel awkward in the gym. Instead of reinforcing that feeling for them, be patient – offer help, support, or encouragement.

We're all here working toward a goal of self-improvement.

Today might be the most Monday of Mondays, but the message is the same...

Never miss a Monday.

If you can't get to the gym today, do a home workout. If you have family over, invite them to participate. You're one workout away from less stress, more energy, and a better outlook on the day. Get after it.
