Maybe the most common misconception about the gym is that it’s a place of evaluation. In reality, judgement of others interpersonally almost never comes up. Testing physical capacities even rarely is the aim of the training.
99.9% of time in the gym is about achieving a relative training stimulus.
That means, everyone feels the same: vulnerable and edgy. That means the fit, strong people are at an appropriate edge, just like the person on their first day. That’s the reality of training.
I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but it’s what makes the gym the most inclusive place in the world. Get involved!
