A note on tailgating to get a free workout: just don’t do it. This young man has used his friends regularly to gain access to the gym. If you know him, he is not a not a member and has been trespassed from the premises. If you see him in the gym, please call me at 803-549-2333.

Every gym member has a fob. For safety and security, everyone should swipe that fob when they enter even if the door is being held open. If you have lost your fob, let me know and I will get you a new one. The person with the fob is responsible for anyone they let in. If you are not sure if someone is a member in good standing, call me and I will look them up. Please don’t be the one being used. If you want to work out with a friend who is not a member, that’s not a problem. The daily rate for a guest is just $5. This can be paid by putting cash in the drop box, Venmo, or Cash App. Thank you to everyone who consistently does the right thing. We really do appreciate all of you!!!!

What if I finish last? What if I don’t finish at all? What if I hate it? I don’t have anyone who wants to do it with me. It’s going to be hot. It’s going to be cold.

These are all thoughts that stopped me from entering a 5k for years. Then, I realized that none of that mattered. Any fitness event is a self challenge and a self achievement. It doesn’t matter if the personal goal is finishing first, beating a personal best time, or just finishing at all. What matters is that you toe the line and do the best you can to meet that goal.

According to Everyday Health, only 0.1% of the US population will participate in endurance races. Just by showing up, you will achieve something that 99.9% of the population never will. If you are still wondering if you are ready, or worried that maybe you won’t make it or will be embarrassed, remember this: DFL beats DNF which beats DNS. Or… Dead Last (yes, I skipped the F… use your imagination) beats Did Not Finish which still beats Did Not Start. So lace up those shoes and get down to Lake Jackson on Saturday, Jun 20th for the Alligator Trot. You can still pre register this week or if you prefer you can register the morning of the race. It doesn’t matter how you do it, just take the leap and go for it.

Pro tip… if you are struggling to squeeze your fingers between plates to unload them from a top load machine, put a 2.5lb plate between the larger plates. This leaves a gap and even gives you a few more pounds on your total.

Just a reminder, be courteous of the person who may use the equipment after you. If you put plates on a machine, make sure you take them off when you are done.

Have a great workout!!!! 🏋️

A huge thank you to Joey and Chris for demonstrating Super Gym’s newest piece of equipment! If you haven’t noticed it yet, we have added a Belt Squat Machine at the back of the gym near the deadlift station.

This versatile machine allows you to squat with zero spinal compression! Now you can get that deep leg and glute workout even when traditional squats are a no go. Without worrying about a bar digging on your shoulders, you can focus instead on that perfect form. For your gym math, the chassis weighs 45lbs. You can add up to 700lbs.

Back pain free squats aren’t this machines only trick! You can also use it to work on those lunges, belt marches, Romanian dead lifts or for the brave leg days, bring a bench over (or ask a friend to help) and go for the Bulgarian Split Squats that Chris is demonstrating.

The Florala Rec Board is hosting a 5k this Friday (May 15). The proceeds from this event will go towards Florala’s youngest budding athletes. These fundraisers are allowing the Rec Board to open sports to children this year without a registration cost. ❤️ Come on out to Lake Jackson Friday night to show some love to this great program.

We are hosting a 5k fun run next month and hope to see everyone there!!

Online registration is coming in the next few days or you can register the night of under the pavilion!

There is nothing like the smell of new equipment in the gym…

Yesterday we got a pallet load of great things for our members. We hope you all will enjoy.

First up is the Freemotion i10.9b Incline Trainer. This is NOT just another treadmill. You can absolutely use it just like you use a standard treadmill, but it is capable of much more. Its expanded capabilities offer a new training opportunity to focus on cardio health while targeting glutes, hamstrings, calves and quads without the high impact of running on the treadmill. This treadmill will incline up to 30 degrees, and will decline up to -3 degrees. This will get the heart rate up and engage those leg muscles fully without the high impact of running. By adding incline training to your workout routine you can get more focused lower body toning and higher calorie burn in less time than running, stair climbing, cycling or gliding.

Next, is a True Upright Bike that has been added to the bike lineup. While this isn’t a new capability, it does balance the group which is now lined up together. Whether you are a fan of recumbent or upright riding there should be a bike for you.

Last is the new 5-50 set of rubber coated hex dumbbells for the green room. We know that there were missing singles and pairs in the existing collections and we appreciate your patience with moving needed dumbbells back and forth across the gym. This full set will make it easier to utilize the floor space in the green room efficiently.

The weather may be all over the place right now, but Super Gym is open and all the equipment is up, running and ready for you to get that workout in.

We have been working over the last few weeks to get any broken equipment repaired. As of today, it is. We are gym users, and we know how frustrating it can be to show up for a workout only to find that your favorite piece of equipment is down. We are committed to keeping everything up and running. If you notice anything that isn’t quite working right, please either text/call 803-549-2333 or drop a note in the safe behind the front desk.

05/08/2026

We will be at the finish line on June 20th with post race refreshments for the runners, walkers and everything in between. 🙂 We hope to see you there!

If you aren’t up to the 5k, but would like to be involved shoot us a DM. We could use a hand manning the table, keeping the coolers full and cheering on the participants.

Yoga anyone? How about some HIIT?

We are looking into offering Yoga and HIIT classes at Super Gym and would love your input. Are you interested in attending yoga, HIIT or both classes? What times and days would work best for your schedule? These classes will be available for both members and non members.
