Embarrassed to come back to the gym?

Embarrassed to come back to the gym?

Chris Smith | March 21, 2016

Getting healthy is hard. Staying healthy is even harder. When you’re starting a new routine to increase your health and fitness, there is often a drive from within that propels itself. Motivation and dedication are high, especially when you see results. But sometimes that honeymoon phase only lasts a few weeks, a few months, or, if you’re lucky, even a few years.

Like most types of journeys, a health journey will have its peaks and valleys. Eventually, that desire to stay consistent fades into the distance. Some people get back on the horse and back to work, while others find themselves back to square one.

Being back to where you started can be a devastating and overwhelming feeling. You might also feel disappointed, discouraged and even embarrassed to come back in the gym. Enough so that you won’t even step foot back in the gym, and you go out of your way to avoid seeing your former gym friends.

At Impulse, we want you to know that we don’t ever want you to feel embarrassed about walking back through our door if you’ve taken off a couple months or years from your previously healthy lifestyle. Our mission is to educate, motivate, and empower you; not to judge and criticize you. We don’t expect our clients to have it all together all of the time. That’s not realistic. We will meet you where you are in your journey and help you to progress toward your health goals once again.

If you’ve avoided walking back through our door, and you are ready to recommit to finding that healthy version of yourself, walk right in. Even if you don’t feel ready, let us help you find your drive and determination once more. We welcome you back!
