Whether you’re thinking about joining a commercial gym, building out a home gym, or just overcoming gym intimidation, this episode has you covered!

 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Commercial Gyms vs. Home Gyms: The pros and cons of each option to help you decide what’s best for you.
  • The Gym Intimidation Factor: Why gyms can feel daunting, especially if you’re out of shape, and actionable steps to overcome that fear.
  • Must-Have Equipment for a Home Gym: From budget-friendly basics to splurge-worthy setups.
  • Types of Gyms: Studio gyms, powerlifting gyms, Globo gyms, and functional fitness gyms—what’s the difference, and which is right for you?
  • Gym Culture: How to find your fitness tribe and make sure the gym you choose feels welcoming and motivating.
  • New Year’s Resolutions That Stick: Why most resolutions fail and how to set realistic, sustainable fitness goals for 2025.

 

Kevin shares his personal gym journey—from overcoming his own fears as a “skinny-fat” beginner to building a high-end home gym and finding his tribe at a commercial gym. Whether you’re a seasoned fitness enthusiast or a complete beginner, this episode will inspire and empower you to take the next step toward your strongest, healthiest self.
