Yes You Can Gym Group

Remember when THAT weight used to feel heavy?

Then one day you pick it up and realise…

Hang on.

That actually feels alright now.

The weight hasn’t changed.

YOU have.

You’ve got stronger.

And sometimes we’re so busy looking for progress on the scales or in the mirror that we completely miss all the other signs that what we’re doing is working.

The dumbbells you struggled with are now your warm-up.

You’ve added another plate to the machine.

You can do more reps.

The stairs don’t leave you as puffed.

Carrying the shopping feels easier.

Getting yourself up from the floor doesn’t require quite as much planning

These things matter.

So next time you reach for a heavier weight because your usual one suddenly feels a little too comfortable, take a second to appreciate why.

The weights aren’t getting lighter. You’re getting stronger.

UNWRITTEN GYM RULE #8

If someone says, “I’ve got no energy today”… just wait. 😂

Ten minutes in, they’ve forgotten they were tired.

Halfway through, they’re adding more weight.

By the end, they’re chatting, laughing and somehow have enough energy left for a coffee.

Gym energy is a funny old thing.

OPEN DAY!

Tomorrow is the final day to create your Fantasy Premier League team and join the Yes You Can league!

⏰ Deadline: 6:30pm on Friday 21st August

Scan the QR code or enter league code aj13ph to get involved before the deadline.

Who’s backing themselves to finish top of the league?

That massive CLANG you just made? Yes, we heard it. No, you don’t need to leave the country.

Dropped a dumbbell?

Let the weight stack come down a little harder than planned?

Nearly fallen over getting off a machine?

Had one of those moments where you immediately look around to see who noticed?

We promise, it’s fine

Most people didn’t notice.

The ones who did don’t care.

And there’s a very good chance they’ve done exactly the same thing themselves.

You’re going to have little awkward moments in the gym, especially when you’re learning.

You’ll occasionally set something up wrong.

You’ll wobble.

You’ll forget what you’re doing halfway through.

And sometimes you’ll make an almighty racket.

The gym isn’t a performance.

You’re allowed to learn, get things wrong and laugh at yourself along the way.

SEPTEMBER… ARE YOU READY TO START?

Not “start again on Monday”.

Not wait until you feel fitter.

Not wait until you’ve lost a bit of weight before joining a gym.

Just start.

We’re a friendly 30+ gym and we have members who arrived as complete beginners, members who hadn’t exercised for years and members who were absolutely terrified walking through the door for the first time.

Now look at them!

Our September Start Up is your chance to come and join us for:

£35 a month for your first 3 months
Then £45 a month.

You can train at your own pace, ask for help whenever you need it and actually enjoy being part of a gym where people talk to each other, laugh and want to see each other do well.

No judgement. No egos. Just a really lovely bunch of people getting stronger and fitter together.

Fancy giving it a go?

Message us or pop in for a chat.

Which exercise makes you see it on the workout and immediately think… absolutely NOT!

We all have one.

The SkiErg.

The assault bike.

Burpees.

Walking lunges.

The sled.

Or maybe there’s a piece of equipment you’ve successfully avoided since the day you joined

Sometimes we avoid something because it’s HARD.

Sometimes we just genuinely hate it.

But sometimes we avoid it because we’re not quite sure how to do it or we don’t feel confident using the equipment.

If it’s the last one, grab us. We’ll show you.

If you simply hate it… unfortunately we can’t promise your class instructor won’t put it in anyway

Right, we want to know…

What’s YOUR gym nemesis?
