It’s not a rule. It’s a standard.
The gym is a microcosm of the grander world we live in.
It sets the base for how we live. The work we put in. The care we take. The way we treat those around us. It is personal responsibility.
Within the gym, we set the standard that we want our life to be. And the gym knows this. It doesn’t care about the external excuses. It cares about the effort. If you don’t work hard, you don’t get results. If you don’t show it respect, you lose the game.
So it’s simple. Allow the gym to set the standard. Hold yourself accountable. Work hard. Take care of your surroundings. Leave it better than when you arrived. Respect those around you and show the respect with action. Support your neighbor and they will support you. Create the habit of this higher standard in the gym and I promise you that standard will carry out into the real world. Life will get better and you will become stronger. Not just physically, but in every aspect of life.
The gym sets the tone. You determine what that tone is.
Be the standard.
