 Question is from Thatchman19. What tips or advice would you give to someone who suffers from body dysmorphia and is triggered in a gym? Train at home. Yeah, you don't have to go to the gym at all. Have you guys ever met anybody like this? Yeah, yeah. And like I've had clients that have come in that have been very super self-conscious and have really had to take my time with, you know, like staying in a, and this is where I really just kind of find a spot where they are comfortable. And then we kind of just work from there and just slowly sort of introduce things. And it's definitely a slow gradual, you know, process of an introduction to different things so they feel confident. I think, I think like, I think everybody kind of falls on a spectrum here. Like I feel like all the clients that I train are somewhere here, like to Justin's point, like I think that was really common that I would go get like a little, you know, block off a little five by five square in the corner of the gym somewhere. Especially the freeways. Bring dumbbells over and all, you know, straight bar stuff, whatever I needed. And we would do like the whole session there to where, you know, he or she felt very private with me even though we're in this public gym. So I think, and then that's the extreme, right? Where someone they come in and they're just like, they're so worried about everybody looking at them. So you do things like that. But I mean, I think everybody has a little bit of being self-conscious, especially when you first come in the gym. And that part of a trainer is coaching them through that process that honestly, most people here, they're here for themselves and what they're working on their own goals. They probably don't give a shit about you and where you're at. They all had to start somewhere. Most people in the gym too, it's amazing, are growth-minded people. They're trying to improve themselves. So they're not judging you. They're probably more supportive. This is the same like common conversation that we would have. The gyms that my female clients were most intimidated in, they would probably be the most accepted in, like going into like a, you know, a very bodybuilder-esque or powerlifter gym seems so scary because the bodies look so amazing. Oh my God, everybody there will help you. The irony of those, those are some of the most amazing people to talk to inside the gym because they've dedicated their whole life to working in there. They see someone like you who's starting and it motivates them and inspires them and most all of them are actually really cool to talk to. Well, I feel like we also had this in mind when we were going through like what to put up for our YouTube content. Like I think that, you know, people can and have access to information now that like, you know, as we were coming up through like getting into the gym was, it was definitely intimidating if you didn't already know what you're doing. But if you have the ability to kind of go through the videos, watch, you know, like certain exercises that might, you know, be more intimidating for you. So you have some kind of grasp of it and you can practice it at your house or, you know, like you just, you can gain more knowledge that way coming into the gym. I think, you know, it's very empowering that way. And I think a lot of that will dissolve over, you know, the amount of information that you consume. Yeah, this question is a great opportunity to talk about how you would communicate to somebody who's trying to maybe embark on a fitness journey, but has some roadblocks. You know, I just read a post earlier by a trainer who talked about how, you know, one of the main reasons why people say they can't work out is they don't have enough time. Now, this person's argument was- That's a soft way of putting it. It was a lot more bold. Oh yeah, and the way they put it was bullshit. Everybody has the same hours during the week. You know, three hours for the week is only 1.7% of your total time. Anybody can have time. You just have to make time, which is technically correct, but is a terrible way to positively influence someone. So someone like this who says, you know, oh God, I wanna work out, but I'm really afraid of the gym. Some trainers might be like, oh, who cares? Come to the gym. Nobody gives a shit. Let's come work out. You gotta be fearless. Come to, you know, they got the- You're not gonna help that person. The reality is anywhere you can be active is better than doing nothing at all. You can work out at home and working out at home is far better than not doing anything at all. Well, this is where I completely started to change the way I communicated walking to clients. I mean, I told you on the show before that if someone told me that if I asked them what do you do for exercise and they said they walk every day for a mile or whatever, I would scoff at that like it's not exercise, which is the complete opposite now because someone like this, this is a classic example of what a great place for this person to start. I say, hey, you know, if you don't like coming to the gym right now, don't go to the gym. It says you need to do that. Like let's create some new good behaviors and habits that you weren't currently doing. Have you ever gone for a 30 minute walk every day? Totally. And they go, no, I've never done that. Do you think you can commit to 30 minutes of walking every single day? Yes, I do. Well, guess what? That's seven days a week times 30 minutes. That's actually a good amount of exercise for somebody who was not doing it whatsoever. You need something to build on. Right. A lot of times like that's where it gets hard because they want to build everything at once and they want to get like, you know, go to intermediate status like right away. It's like, no, like take your time, find out what you can do first. Like what are those few things you can do right now? What does that look like? Now younger me with a person like this would really try hard to convince them to go to the gym. I try motivating them. I try using logic and know the gym is the best place. You got to be fearless. This is for your health. You know, I would try and do that. And when it went into happening is I would talk someone out of it. I would make such a compelling case that the gym is the best place to work out. Or they do it begrudgingly and then they fucking, then they go and they never come back again. Right, right. Or I make such a good case for the gym that the person thinks, well, that's the only place I'll get fit but I'm not going to go there. So I'm not doing anything at all. And I would have lost the person entirely. Just like I said earlier with the whole time argument. Instead, what's the goal? The goal is to get the person to start somewhere. Now here's the irony of this, okay? The irony is you take someone like this who's afraid of going to the gym because they're being triggered and you tell them you don't got to go to the gym. Just do some stuff at home. And let's say they start with two exercises at home and they just practice those. And eventually they do three exercises and then four exercises. Do you think they're going to have more confidence to go into a gym? Of course. Now they've been doing something. Now they're kind of into it and they think, okay, maybe now I have the courage to step into the gym. So this is a lesson for all of you trainers out there. You know, be empathetic and remember what your goal is. Your goal is not to be right. You're not trying to win an argument with the person or to tell them what the best thing is necessarily. Your goal is to influence them positively and any step forward is a step forward.
