“I want to lose 20 pounds”
“I want to look good naked”
“I want to be stronger”
“I want more energy to keep up with my kids”
“I want to be able to go for hikes without getting winded”
“I want to feel better”
“I want to move better”
These are all great reasons to come to the gym.
These are easy, measurable goals.
What we don’t realize going into it, is that they are not actually the biggest benefits we get for our lives.
“I became a better Father and Husband”
“I made friends who truly know me, respect me, and challenge me”
“I went to work with a clearer mind and accomplished more in one hour than entire day, then got promoted”
“I discovered that I am capable of far more than I ever imagined, nothing can stop me”
“With each year, I just get better – not older”
“I am Happy”
“I am Whole”
We don’t set out to reach these targets.
We can’t set these as Goals.
In many ways they are secondary effects.
But they are the real end game.
Do you want to look good naked?
Yep – we can do that.
But don’t be surprised when you get so much more out of it too.
