1. MEET WORKOUT BUDDIES
When you’re dedicated to living a healthy lifestyle, it can be tough to find like-minded people who will support you, let alone someone you can work out with. But at a gym, everyone is there to get fit and improve their health. Having someone to meet for a fitness class or go out for coffee with afterward is a great motivator, and makes every workout more fun.
2. BOOST YOUR ENERGY AND MOOD
There’s no feeling like post-workout bliss! The endorphins your body produces during exercise create a positive feeling in your brain, and the sense of accomplishment you get from finishing a workout is a great confidence-booster. For people suffering from depression, regular exercise is proven to be an effective treatment. With winter upon us and COVID still ever-present, depression is common.
