In this episode Ryan and Lauren give you their top 10 tips to make the gym a place you want to go to instead of feeling like you HAVE to go.

1. Shop Around for Gyms —> Day PassesTry out different gyms before committing to one. Day passes give you the chance to find the best fit for your needs.
2. Start with a PlanHaving a structured workout plan will keep you focused and make your gym sessions more efficient.
3. Set Realistic GoalsSet achievable short-term and long-term fitness goals to stay motivated and focused on your progress.
4. Learn Proper FormMastering form is essential to avoid injury and get the most out of your workouts.
5. Start Slow and Progress GraduallyBegin with lighter weights and focus on building a solid foundation. Overloading too soon can lead to injuries.
6. Don’t Compare Yourself to OthersFocus on your own journey. Fitness is personal, and everyone is at different stages of their progress.
7. Bring a Buddy —> Way Less ScaryHaving a gym buddy can make the experience less intimidating and more enjoyable.
8. Layout of the GymAlways warm up before your workout and take time to stretch afterward to prevent injuries.
