Now a few years into my 40's I often reflect on lessons life has taught me. It's funny how some of the old corny sayings people would tell you as a child actually have real life meaning behind them.
Life has shown me over and over that you truly can't judge a person, place, or thing soley based on what others tell you or by what you've heard via the legendary rumor mill. I myself have been guilty of doing this and 99% of the time I have allowed others to form an opinion of a person or place for me it's ended up being completely wrong.
With all of that being said, I'm not the smartest person in the world but I am also not deaf or blind. I realize there are many Rumors, Myths, and Misconceptions about my gym. So I'd like to take this opportunity to address the "elephant in the room."
listed below are some, not all of the more common Rumors, Myths, and Misconceptions regarding the gym.
1. There are prerequisites for membership
There is a belief out there that you must obtain a certain level of strength, experience, or accomplishment prior to joining
THIS IS NOT TRUE!
In fact everyone is welcome regardless of previous accomplishments, strength, or experience level.
Our facility is a perfect place for beginning lifters that want to learn and improve
2. The gym is for powerlifters only
AGAIN, NOT TRUE!
The fact is our current membership is made up of all types of lifters. Competitive powerlifters are a small portion of our membership base. We have casual gym goers, members training for weight loss, athletes, members perusing personal fitness goals, etc.
You do not have to be a competitive powerlifter to join.
3. The gym is full of gigantic meatheads that will eat your soul.
My personal favorite rumor but NOT TRUE!
While it is true we have been home to some of the best powerlifters in the country and the world. Some of our members murder big numbers on the platform, the gym is not a den of outlaws and evil. We stopped doing human sacrifices long ago.
You will actually find quite the opposite environment. The gym operates like a club and has a family feel to it. We have members from all walks of life, men, women, older couples, blue collar workers, military members, doctors, lawyers, law enforcement, and students. I guarantee you won't find a better, more supportive group of people or environment anywhere.
You can listen to the rumors and myths or you can come check it out for yourself and form your own opinion.
