Finding a Workout Environment

November 6, 2016 by Karen 1 Comment

It’s taken 4 months but I have joyfully found an environment I can fully workout in. You know the environment where you have full access to the equipment you need to build muscle( and you’re not charged an extra fee to use it). A gym in which you’re not waiting for someone to stop hoarding equipment because there’s enough for everyone. A gym where you’re not desperately looking around wondering what you’re going to use to target the next body part.

I found a fully equipped gym where I can feel free to workout my hardest, grunts and grimaces galore.  As I expressed my gratitude to the owner, she put it simply, “Environment is everything”.

Here is the first decent arm workout I had since landing in Vermont, complements of LIFT VT!

    It can be really frustrating to go for a workout and having to wait for someone to finish using an equipment before you can use it. I totally agree that environment is everything.
