I have been wasting my money in gym subscriptions for most of my adult life. They make me feel like I'm doing something good for myself when I pay for those, but then when I actually get to the gym I warm up at the treadmill, and then just randomly go from one machine to the other, trying to remember what the instructor said about them when I took those classes in the past, and pretty much get discouraged and demotivated very soon and just stop going.
Well, with Andrea at Temple Training that has finally changed for me: I started going to her studio when I decided (doctor said) I really needed to move more and do some exercise to help me with my upper back pain, after a couple cycles of physical therapy. I first took some classes with her in person, but those came with her online program, so that I could be consistent with my "move more" goal, even when she wasn't around, just by going to the gym by myself!
Her online plan is not the usual "watch this video, do what I do": you actually get your workout plan on your phone or tablet, and you take that with you to the gym. It's like having your personal trainer there with you every time you go. It tells you how many repetitions for every exercise, how much weight to use if the case, and the main things to remember. It even has a short video per exercise in case you, like me, are one of those who don't speak "gym", and can't remember what exercise applies to that funny name! ("Inchworms"? "Dirty dogs"? Really?)
I'm finally putting that gym subscription to good use, and gaining confidence and health in the process!
Thank you Andrea! read more
