Be the person who makes others want to train
Listen now
Description
The boys talk about things you can and should do to make others want to train. We’d go so far as to say it’s your responsibility to be the person who makes new people want to keep coming back even though they think this sport may not be for them. By that we mean they’re bad at it....as we all were. Even if you happen to be the proverbial “wallflower”, you can still be the person who makes someone else feel like they’re actually cared about in the gym. We all know what it feels like to walk in on the first day and how sometimes terrifying that can be depending on your own history and personality. So, the least we can do is make those first few classes more enjoyable and easygoing for them. We realize that it’s easy just to fall into a certain “click” after awhile. That becomes a comfort zone for a lot of people. We’re trying to say that you should go outside of your newfound comfort zone and make sure someone else sticks around long enough to find theirs. And so the cycle should continue. If nothing else, just make sure you’re not the reason someone decides to quit.
