Them: Hey, I haven’t seen you in the break-of-day Cycle Burn class in ages. So great to run into you. Have you seen Greg’s new onesie uniquely crafted for his own riding style? Apparently, he had it made special by a sport scientist who lives in the French Alps by himself and chews on ice for longevity. It’s so awesome. Anyway, how have you been? My RPM has gone up by like a million percent. My quads can probably pop a watermelon. Epic right?
You: Oh, what’s up with me? Baby steps. My quads definitely can’t squash watermelons, but I can do more squats than ever after starting Lift Club classes. I can’t believe my fitness dream of steady progress is coming true. I’ve been trying something new each week, and I’m seeing how slow and steady can win this race.
I feel completely well without putting any pressure on myself to complete the most insane fitness regime ever but at least now I can manage 10 burpees in a row without wanting to poke myself with a fork until I look like a tea strainer – because that would feel better.
You know what’s the best part? I don’t need a tailor in the French Alps to hand stitch my workout fit because sometimes, progress happens in sweatpants that you’ve had since you were a student. Yes, I have worn those on the road to wellness on occasion.
Maybe the old you, is the new you.
There’s way too much pressure out there about personal bests, personal rests and the Easts and Wests of who’s best. But really, when it comes to those wellness goals, it’s okay to admit that what you’re doing is already good but you really want to push yourself to try something new.
A fresh take just for you.
What about group gym classes?
If you’re looking to take a few new steps, give our group classes a go. They’re dynamic and perfectly suited to step up your exercise goals. Plus, they come with supportive communities that are extremely motivating – without the dolphin posters. If the thought of getting on the bench to do arm curls with the scary gym boets doesn’t fit your fancy, then have a go at a Lift Club class. All the weights without the wait… and that unbearable, heavy dread and anxiety of possibly doing it wrong. Plus, we provide the music for free so you can save some time on creating your ultimate workout playlist. Our instructors take care of that for you. We’re cool like that.
In this club, you don’t have to run uphill for an hour to feel like you’ve achieved something. Walking at a steady pace on that slightly higher incline than before, while listening to down tempo classical versions of EDM is just fine.
Movement is the spice of life and the first step towards progress. And progress means getting closer to the happiest, realest you. Book Lift Club or any class that tickles your fancy on our app now. Are you not a Virgin Active member yet? Join a Virgin Active gym near you today.
