In a matter of hours, nearly 100 million people across the country will make a choice to improve their life. An exciting, scary, brave, potentially life-changing decision.
Millions of people will open a door into a new, unfamiliar place.
With thoughts like:
What does RDL stand for? Surely I’m doing this wrong…
I thought they only did burpees in football movies… I can’t do that.
I hope no one can tell I don’t know what I’m doing… I hope no one can tell that I’ve never even held dumbbells before!
Why did I come? I don’t think I’m wearing the right shoes.
Gosh, she’s in good shape… Why did she partner with me?!
The trainer doesn’t have time for me. I’m so behind compared to everyone else.
I need to take a break… Will everyone look at me?
I wasn’t ready. I’ll try next year again.
We’re here to quiet the noise. Joining a gym can be filled with hope, doubt, and the fear of not belonging.
We know that fear. We see it every January in hesitant first steps, in eyes scanning the room, in people wondering if they’re strong enough, “fit” enough, or ready enough.
That’s why we’re here. Not to judge. Not to intimidate. But to meet you exactly where you are.
At EQ, you don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t have to be confident, coordinated, or fearless. You just have to show up.
We’ll learn your name. We’ll celebrate your effort. We’ll laugh with you. We’ll remind you that you’re not doing this alone.
This choice you’re making could change your life. And our job is to make sure it feels safe, supported, and worth coming back for tomorrow.
