  If you get yourself into a private community gym instead of Planet Fitness, you’ll realize how real this is.

    I go to the Y, and it’s like this. Same for most local gyms. It’s the shit places like Planet Fitness and other mega gyms that are filled with problems.

    My Y also has zero tolerance for anyone filming or taking pictures. It’s incredible.

    Gym bros love people who try to better themselves. Spotting and Sauna are induction.

    These guys will get you fitter than you ever thought you could be.

    YMCA and College Fitness Centers are the best starting spots.

      College Fitness Centers

      I attend a public (US) university and on-campus gyms seem more intimidating than a Planet Fitness.

      Then again, I’ve never been to either place, although I almost went into my university’s gym but chickened out last second. I’m worried about the issue in the greentext, and I don’t really know where to start. I assume that at a gym you do structured workouts and not whatever you want.

  Halfway there, eh?

  I mean, it really it is you reach out and take initiative. It’s never like this if you sit around waiting for this kind of thing to happen, you will be perpetually disappointed in others.

  But like our fictional hero, I can at least attest from my own long life, that if you seek out the kind of experiences and people you wish you had in your life, you will find them. But if you are discouraged because you had one or several bad experiences, or if you’re discouraged because you read about someone else’s bad experience, or if some youtuber told you how bad things are, you will live in that world and that world only as long as you live.
