Hardcore Gym Or Fancy-Schmancy health Club?

Powerlifters are among the most supportive population you'll ever meet.

Sure, when they compete, everyone wants to win, but ya know what? Powerlifting is about personal achievement, and Pl-ers Love to see everyone (even their competitors) accomplish their best lifts.

I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the fact it's not thought about a 'mainstream' sport.

Winners rarely get much more than a trophy or a plaque to hang on their wall.

With the big money of more beloved sports out of the picture, Pl-ers train to compete the personal satisfaction that comes with self-improvement. Isn't That the reason you'd think joining a gym in the first place?

Now if you choose to join a 'fitness boutique' or a franchised health club, you'll often find just the opposite is true. Members are often more interested in the collective scene than any meaningful progress.

They oftentimes engage in subtle (or outward) 'one-upmanship'. Ego's flair. Opportunities to put someone else member down as weaker, fatter, or otherwise less thriving in life are oftentimes used to boost one's own self-image.

Not a very supportive environment, to say the least.

In a powerlifting gym, the only thing that beyond doubt matters is how committed you are to change.

To learn.

To push yourself to new levels of bodily success.

To say you're going to accomplish something - and then go ahead and Do it.

People in a powerlifting gym are more likely to help you, to spot you in a tough exercise, to cheer you along as you work towards a personal best - while you do the same for them.

Why?

Because it's the right thing to do.
