Gym, it's not just going to fix your body.

There is this man in his late 40s (as we call uncle) diagnosed with arthritis and the doctor told him, it will be a miracle if he can lift a glass of water. He did 140kg squats yesterday, beat that.

There was a skinny little kid, suicidal back in the days till his therapist suggested exercise and now he is preparing for a competition, beat that.

There is a guy, running the hell out of family obesity, his 40 minutes run cover half of the city, beat that.

There is a guy who brings his young daughter to the gym who helps the dad with lifting, beat that.

There is a teenager, recovering from his broken 💓, his workout is sheer sweat and love, beat that.

There is a man, with a back injury and the doctor told him his life won't be the same, yeah I guess because did deadlift last week and broke a gym record, beat that.

There is a depression patient with long sleeves, he is helping a new kid lift, beat that.

No matter how misunderstood and badly representative life we lead, no matter how misguided we approach the gym, a society obsessed by image and twisted idea of fitness, the gym is more than that. It fixes you more than you ask for, gains or no gains you lift yourself and rise above and beyond the negative vibes of a society that loves to drag down everyone for no reason. All hail to those who keep up with passion, fitness and refuse to take their bodies for granted 🤘🏻
