A big complement to us we often get is people tell us the power of working out next to someone very positive and this allows you to elevate your performance. They also say the importance of a support circle at home and around them.

This is a very underrated part of our gym, support is everything.

Contrast that with other messages I get from time to time. 

“I want to start training but I don’t get any support from those closest to me”.

“I don’t drive so rely on lifts, but nobody will give me a lift to the gym”.

“All my family eat poorly and hate exercising, so I don’t feel I can start exercising even though I desperately need to”.

“People I hang around with don’t have much ambition, and they consider exercise a waste of time, they will have a go at me if I join a gym”.

Starting exercising is hard as you will remember, but the environment and support circle you have should never be taken for granted to enable you to KEEP ON exercising with all the ENDLESS benefits, physically and mentally.

Avoid if you can the people who suck the energy and hope out of you, and cherish the people who support you, they can be the difference between success and failure for you.

Some days, you mention in the gym about AI (artificial intelligence), and how powerful it can be “suggesting” things we can buy all of a sudden, that we only mentioned that day or the day before. It’s clear AI is following or tracking us at least.

We can experience the same with other people in our lives.

I’ve seen many cases myself with people who have achieved extraordinary things succumb to outside influences and let their fitness go by the wayside, even give up on it totally, often on the advice  or influence of unscrupulous individuals or organisations offering a “different way” but usually very profitable way, that is often not backed by any science or much experience, 

The power of suggestion and influence can be life changing, and regrettably often in the wrong way.

Most people have common sense, have their own minds and have a proud record of success and HOW they have got there.

AI can be good but can have a darker side too, just remember that if you are surrounded by people who are trying to take you on a different path, often purely for their own financial ends with often no care for the end benefit or results from it.
