Recently, I have been wondering if I should join a gym.
I have been to multiple ones in my life. And those experiences weren’t particularly pleasant.
My first gym, which was near my house almost 10 years ago, had a coach who wasn’t really helpful.
All he did was sit in his chair and gossip with other men.
Plus, he wasn’t inspiring me at all.
Maybe I also felt a bit of discrimination because of me being an adivasi person.
My second gym experience was in college in Tollygunge.
I went there for 2 days, and I gave up.
It was getting too difficult because I had to do cardio plus weight training.
Signing up for cardio was a good decision, but I guess I was too anxious to face the crowd there, or I was embarrassed that whenever I went there, I went with my mother because of my anxiety.
So I quit after the first 2 days.
And if I joined a gym now, this would be my 3rd attempt.
I think I shouldn’t give up. I should join one.
Also, I’m going back to West Bengal in a few days, and I might join one there.
So yeah, I hope I can join a gym soon.
Thank you for reading this line! It means a lot.
