What does fitness/the gym mean to you?

For me, the gym evolved into my happy place. It became my home when I didn’t have a home, my family when I lost family. It was there for me whenever I needed it with whatever I was going through in life. Many of the best athletes I have met have conquered battles in and out of the gym.

I think about this because I just spoke with a someone who would like to come back into the gym but what she is going through in life on a very personal level is truly scary. What she is about to put her body and mind through is a true battle. I try to promote the gym as a support system not just to reach your goals, but help those around you feel like they can conquer life outside of the gym as well ❤️
