I've gone to gyms in many cities across the country. What I've noticed whenever the conversation of weight training comes up, some of the dialogue is about losing weight, fighting heart disease, working chest on "chest-day Mondays," while in some cities completely ignoring leg day altogether. Then moving to Los Angeles, some of the dialogue gravitated more to aesthetics, especially at the bigger gym chains where there's always the guys posing on the machines or busy looking at their arms in the mirror, waiting to get noticed. For them, the gym is a place to go shopping, while they can stroke their own ego. The gym for me has helped me gain some mobility. Three years ago, I could barely move. For years, it was a struggle to just walk form my front door to my car, relying on my cane to help with balance. Although I still have chronic pain and a limp and do need the cane at times, all of which will be life-long issues for me, at least I can move around somewhat now and not feel like I should be ringing bells in a tower somewhere - "I am not an animal!" I'm not here to judge. Whatever the motivations are for some, at least they are at the gym where they can work on improving their own health and well-being. Good for them. I mean that. But the psychological benefits seem to be left out of much of the conversation. Written by Delbert, Orlando See less
