  • Are you ready to try free weights? That has been the best change for me, because you can start at whatever level is right for you at the time, you can work up gradually, and there are endless variatious to keep the body challenged.

At the first sign of creepiness, the owner personally confronts the creep. If I ever join a different gym, I will be asking how managers deal with creeps before I sign anything or pay a…

  • He is lucky to have a sister who cares about his well being! Keep showing him that you love him no matter what, and that his life and health are priceless to you.
