Who are my favourite people to be around? Well you can kind of guess by the title of this blog! Gym goers, gymrats, gym bros and girls are my favourite kind of people. Not just because I love the gym and I do but because they are all there for a singular reason and that is to improve and get better. Whatever improvement looks like to them, they are at the gym for that reason.
Positivity And Encouragement
Because gym rats are there to improve themselves, they also respect others who are doing the same. They will secretly or outwardly cheer you on and be a source of support. They also will usually help you out if you’re confused about how to use a piece of equipment or oftentimes if they are true gym rat they will offer you to share the equipment with you often called “working in”.
Inspirational
Often times you will see a fellow gym rat transform. They either started off overweight or even obese or very skinny and you watch them transform into someone who is very fit or now has serious muscle mass. That is very inspiring and makes you more sure of yourself like you can also get results in the gym too! Maybe you won’t get the same results as them due to genetics and lifestyle factors but it makes you confident that you can get the best results for you. Inspiration is a wonderful thing!
Energy
Gymrats have energy to burn and it’s contagious! They are more fun to be around and if you let them, they will push you to lift more and train harder. Hanging around and lifting with a gym rat is so much more uplifting and fun than just doing it on your own. It’s not the same if you just lift with a friend that only goes to the gym twice a week. When you lift with someone who’s at the gym 5 plus days a week, their energy is motivating and fun. Your workouts definitely will be taken up more than a few notches!
So you see, there are several reasons to love gym rats. They are definitely my favourite people to be around and coincidentally I too am also a gym rat!
