"I am very passionate about people's mental and physical health and the long term side effects if things are not handled properly. I feel that I could write a compelling article that would be of great interest to the readers of My FAB Challenge"

Everyone who works out does it for a reason. Some hope to lose weight and some hope to bulk up. Others may have medical conditions that require particular exercises and others may simply be pursuing a healthier lifestyle. Since there are so many different motivations, it’s important to find a gym that suits you and your goals.
The Crowd
Ask yourself, “who goes to my gym and why?” Your fellow gym members play a large role in how you emotionally perceive your workouts. If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable, guilty, or embarrassed when you hop on the elliptical in front of your fellow gym-goers, it may be time to examine the motivations of those around you. For example if you’re focused on shedding some extra pounds, and your gym is largely composed of guys and gals hoping to beef up, you may not feel as though you fit in and your work outs may be less rewarding. Your gym should feel welcoming to you and accommodating to your needs. Explore your reasons for going and see if they’re compatible with everyone else’s.
The Sanitation
Make sure that your gym is not only free of germs, but free of toxins. Older homes and gyms were often built using a natural mineral called asbestos. If inhaled or ingested, asbestos collects in the lungs or stomach and leads to a cancer called mesothelioma. Mesothelioma symptoms include chest heaviness, shortness of breath, and coughing. To reduce your risk of mesothelioma, avoid asbestos exposure. Check with your gym about the possibility of asbestos before you make a choice.
The Staff
Finally, make sure that you and the gym staff are compatible. If the staff is geared towards areas of fitness that don’t interest you, you may want to rethink your choice. Staff members should be encouraging, boosting both your drive and your self-confidence. If you feel that the staff members cause you to feel guarded, overly guilty, or bashful, it may be time to do some searching. Of course, if staff members cause you to feel unsafe in any way, it is vital that you leave the situation and the gym immediately. Finding staff members that you can trust means that they can in turn invest in you.
Once you’ve decided on your reasons for working out and joining a gym, make sure your gym caters to those motivations. Working out in an unsanitary gym, especially one that contains toxins, may hurt you more than help you; if you experience mesothelioma symptoms, you should speak with your doctor about a cancer screening. If the crowd or the staff at your gym is moving in a different direction than you are, you may want to consider somewhere better suited to your goals. Stay focused, stay positive, and let the search begin!
