Progressively overload 
 Take a couple of weeks to correct your form by only using very light weight you are really comfortable with. 
 And once you think your form is correct, start overloading. 
 Watch videos on how to perform the exercise correctly and just practice. 
 There is no need to depend on anyone unless you are lifting very heavy, which might not be the case for you.

I was in the same situation that you are. My form was wrong for almost the first 3-4 months lol cuz the trainer didn't care what I did.  
  
 What I advise you to start doing is - say Hi before coming to the gym/Bye while you're leaving or if that's not possible just smile at them whenever you come and go. That way they'll start noticing you . If they notice your wrong form , that way they won't hesitate to tell you that

That's how u meet new friends. If you don't know the right posture ask people. Check youtube. I'm really really sure no one will make fun of you if you politely ask them the right posture.

Hi there. I recently joined the gym without personal training. It has been 1 month. And I have been doing some basic workouts  and been progressing. But the thing is, when I talk to the gym trainer to teach me some new exercises or alternatives, they just joke it off. 

I can't leave this gym, because I don't have 2 wheelers for commute and this gym is the nearest one. 

What should I do ? 

I get that gym is also a business. But while doing exercise, I don't my form sometimes. And have no friend to spot also. 

Should I stop going? I don't want any injuries beacuse of wrong form!

Needs a personal trainer to level up ?- Grapevine

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?

Does anyone know of good personal fitness trainers for basic level in and around Bellandur/Koramangala ? Going to gym doesn’t worked out for me and need this for accountability.

Founder

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 🥲

What more can I do?

28/M - Have a complete desk job and odd hours of working (US PST Hours). Been feeling burned out and stressed off late. Completely out of shape. BMI high, Did a blood test recently and results are looking worrisome. 

New to Bangalore, Looking for some suggestions/connections to a good personal trainer and gyms. Found a lot of local gyms but don’t think I have the motivation to get things started on my own, so a good PT and gym would really help. I’m based near Malleswaram and don’t mind travelling 5kms around.

Any suggestions or connections in your networks would really help.

Software Test - QA

I am bored when writing code, more on WFH days. 
Even if I get a 5-minute break, I look for more work or scroll social media. I don't leave my brain free for a moment. Always doing or consuming something, not in a healthy way. One thing leads to another and post-nut clarity hits. 

I have joined a gym. I am trying to be regular. 

I am trying to learn new technologies but no success.

Bored, while working

Gym peeps, what made y'all started working out?

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.

I have to travel from Kochi to Bangalore every two weeks or so. Due to this constraint, I'm not able to join any gyms be at Bangalore or Kochi. And i have recently noticed that my fitness is becoming really weak. Also since I'm traveling homely food is not possible. Is anyone else going through the same stuff? Can you give me a few suggestions to handle this issue. Also, I'm staying at a backpacker hostel. They don't have treadmill or any other equipments here. 
Thanks.

(irrespective of whether it's a weekday or weekend)

Don't suggest to find a hobby. That piece of advice is really easy, but finding a hobby is really difficult.

So what are some things that we can do on free time in Bengaluru, where people don't flex their career in front of others?
