Really yaar! I'm so scared of going to the gym for the first few weeks of the year. The crowd will be so much.

Last time I posted my one month into gym, and congratulations to myself as it's been 2 months now.

Changes i feel are feeling more stronger. I am on a bit heavy weight. Increased like 2.5-5 kgs for every small muscle exercise. Overall I feel more strengthen.

Reduced fat by 2 kgs, I know it's very less but I feel it's still good as I haven't cut down any hard on my diet.

Going strong for the third month. Share your progress/experience down below.

Two months into gym

Second day at gym. Trainer:

You might know me via Twitter (x). We are building pfc club organically. No cash burn so far. Bootstrapped. Our coaches are making 2 lakh per month average. The market is big. Ask me anything.

Gym guidance

I joined a gym to gain weight. I took measurements initially and also today. 1.5 kg weight gain and lost a little tummy fat other than that no noticeable other changes. 


I discussed my diet with one of the gym trainers, He says it is good. 

But now all my motivation is gone.

Joined a gym two months ago, No progress so far.

Senior Software Engineer

My current employee is offering a gym membership as part of employee benefits (not free, gotta pay some money so its seen as something you've paid for and make use of it, rather than taking it for granted if its kept free).

I've been living a sedentary lifestyle for the past 1.5yrs as I had been under quite a lot of depression rollercoaster and loss of job and endless job hunting.

But I've now decided it's time to bring back my fitness and stay in my best health form and live a healthy lifestyle. I also want to force myself into getting comfortable with living life outside of the comfort zone (atleast for most of the time). And hence, took up this gym membership.

But now, I'm having random fears of what if my body isn't actually in good condition to bear workout ? I have some unknown skin rashes and allergies that appear and disappear randomly. What if there's an underlying issue that I need to take care of ? What if workout might make it worse ? I've also seen people fainting to their last breath after joining gym to get back in shape. (I might be overthinking but these are real concerns though)

Is there any way I can have myself checked and make sure I can go ahead and take this leap of faith ?

I want to start going to the gym, but a part of me is scared.

Anytime you catch yourself thinking about your ex, punish yourself by doing 20-30 push ups.

Turn your stress to strength.....

Advice for guys....

It's not like a lot of things have changed. My weight is still the same though as I haven't worked much on my diet but I feel more strength. I feel more powerful. But it's just one month. 

Wanna hear from you guys who have been regularly working out for 6 months, 1 year or more. How life has changed?

One month into the gym and I feel something

In a very chaotic place right now, moving to a new city, away from home for the first time, starting a LDR, nervously excited about the whole thing. 

Want to pick up new things. 
1. News: Shit at knowing what's happening around me. I know it's important but there's so much content everywhere. What few platforms will cover most of it? (PS: GV notifs sometimes do help with GK and starts good conversations :P) 

2. Books: Used to love them, trying to find my way back. Psychology, non fiction recommendations welcome  

3. Fitness: Gym jaana hai! Can show up consistently, just want a good environment, diet also needs work :/ 

4. Upskill: Marketer here. Don't feel like doing this most days, but aise nahi chalega, kaafi zyada hi chill kar lia 🥲

Hi everyone!
Would you suggest signing up for a gym membership with a personal trainer?
Context - I have struggled with being consistent in the past. So it is wise that I first build the consistency and then join a gym or will the gym help me be consistent?

5 days of periods every month, then you may fall ill sometimes, then you are plain lazy (coz humans)
Just so difficult to keep at it every. single. day.

Not saying women have it difficult (we do), but how do you push yourself everyday to keep fit

I personally try to not keep skip 2 days in a row, unless aforementioned reasons

Why is it so difficult to continue fitness routine

I just got a job in biology related field in Pune. The CTC is 7 LPA (low ik, but the field doesn't pay this much to fresher's). Location: Viman Nagar 
What will be better for me PG or room? What are the price expected? Total expenditures?

Moving to Pune. Cost of living.
