When you run a fitness facility people often comment.

“oh, you should get (insert piece of fitness equipment here) I really like that one.”

It makes me wonder. Why do you “really” like that one? Because its comfortable to do for 45 minutes to an hour?

Chances are you have some sort of goal when you enter the gym. Chances also are if you like a piece of equipment its not helping you toward that goal.

I can understand if you’re new to the whole gym scene and you don’t want to intimidate yourself. But most of these people who inquire about (insert piece of fitness equipment here) are regular gym goers.

Here are a couple of pieces that I absolutely can not stand. (which is good)

Airdyne Bike

It really doesn’t matter what piece of equipment you choose. As long as you’re putting the “work” in, they can all be helpful. As a whole I just think people are way to comfortable at the gym. Which is why we rarely see change.
