    Again Thanks so much for the responses. Man I wish I could take some of you with me when I go. lol Hehe. That way you can tell me go there and go here. :laugh:

    This is a big step for me and I so dont want to look like the new loser in the gym. :blushing:

    Just keep in mind, the majority of gym goers have no idea what they're doing. Sure, many of them think they know... but given the advice in this thread and your proactive questions, you're already worlds ahead of most of them.

    I would focus on you. Do you. Forget about what others might think of you there.

    Man I wish you lived near me. I need someone who actually knows what they are talking about rather than trying to sell me to make big bucks. I'd like to add you.

    Well thanks.

    Most of the big box trainers aren't making big bucks though. Yeah, you might be paying them 50-60 bucks for a single session, but the majority of that is going to the company and the trainers are getting a small cut of it. Hence the reason why that model is based on sales rather than quality training.

    Really? When I'm in locker rooms all I see is muscle heads flexing in the mirror and insecure guys trying to escape without seeing some male parts.

    I was in a locker room once...

    ...and there was a guy in there totally naked.


    True story.
