A reminder!
This is for the regular gym goers out there
It’s about to get really busy in the gyms
I often hear the regulars complaining about this time of year
Too many people
People who don’t know what to do
Someone took my spot in class
I can’t wait for March when it quiets down
Sound familiar?
Did you know…
The regular members in the gym have as much impact on the success or failure of a new participant than any staff member
Think about that
You could change someone’s life for the worse or for the better
Just by how you treat them when they are new
Yell at them for taking your spot
Glare at them when they are on a machine incorrectly
Video tape them and laugh when they are doing something wrong
Why should they come back to this terrible place?
OR
Help them find space in the class, introduce them to yourself and the instructor and tell them what to expect
Offer to show them how to use the machine correctly
Kindly guide them in the gym etiquette (you also had to learn once too)
Simply smile at them or offer an encouraging word
Set a good example of kindness and be welcoming
So how will you change someone’s life this month?
For the better or for the worse? You get to choose!
I know what I’ll be doing
❤
