We need gyms

We need gyms

Elite athletes need gyms. There is a world full of fitness centers. Fitness centers are designed for the sedentary. They do not meet the needs of athletes let alone elite athletes. Gyms are few and far between. Find a gym that nurtures your wants and needs. Do the work. Earn what you want and need. Don’t be a part of the crowd. Be a part of a family.

Marketing is a great field of practice in business. Marketing leads (pun fully intended) to sales. Sales are necessary for business success. Sacrifices are made to meet quotas. Quotas create the sell-out. There is more to a gym than marketing. Gyms operate on a philosophy marketing cannot fully comprehend.

We may entice new members to see things our way in a gym. This happens in a practice so much larger than marketing I cannot even begin to describe it. Just like why I compete. Gyms operate on a philosophy born centuries ago. It is not new. Some people want to improve and prove where they stand. This is competition. Gyms support healthy competition. Competition is never friendly. Someone must lose. Don’t let sportsmanship confuse you. Gyms breed good citizenship. This is the foundation of athletics. Read the Olympic credo. Watch “Pumping Iron”. These people support everyone around them until the competition begins. Then they do their best to see where they stand. Proving 

they are better.

Let’s start building gyms again. We need gyms in the world. They are not boxes. Gyms see things the way they are and adjust to make things better. ROGUE advertises they want to reinvent strength. Keep running. Strength doesn’t need to be reinvented. It is stronger than anyone coming from their perspective. Being stronger, faster, and more agile than the average person is easy. Being physically fit is easy. Some have low expectations. That’s fine. Some of us want to show the world what we can do. We don’t care what the box across town is doing. They are not in our class. We want to show the world we are worthy of their consideration. We want the competition to say “damn they’re here”.

CF is a marketing wonder. They have people doing things their way. Their goals are mediocre. That’s fine too. Just stop claiming to be elite when your champions can’t even qualify for a nationals in a real sport. Get mad at this post if you want. I don’t talk trash. I have lost more friends telling the truth than you will ever have. My loss.

If someone doesn’t support my way of doing things they will continue thinking a college career is a high level of achievement in sports. Aim high in a gym. If beating someone at the college level is all you want, fine. Don’t compare this to high levels of competition. It’s the middle. Professional sports are the top of the middle.

Gyms create excellence. We need gyms to lead the way. CF does not create excellence. They are reinventing things so they don’t have to compete with real champions. They don’t have a chance. They are a business not a gym just like professional sports. Nobody else is doing what they are doing so they are the best. Who cares? I train athletes. One of them is stronger, faster, and more agile than everyone in the NFL, NBA, MLB, and any other pro sport and he can prove it. He was created in a gym.

Gyms are needed.

Get stronger doing YOUR workout in a gym!
