What’s it like going to the gym?   Full of meat heads? Tough guys?  Insecure, competitive women? Harsh judgement and comparison?   That’s how a lot of people perceive the gym.  And perhaps they’re right.  Maybe some gyms are like that.   That definitely hasn’t been the case at Golden Gains gym in my hometown of Edson, Alberta.   This week's guest is Ashley Thompson, the owner and operator of Golden Gains and someone I've enjoyed getting to know over the past year.     I absolutely love training in the gym.  I love watching people come in for the first time or the 100th time.   Being around so many inspiring, friendly people every day.    If you’ve ever had questions about going to the gym, fitness in general, or how to make it fit your lifestyle, you’ll want to listen to today's episode.
