Had my first run in with a gym member who pulled a bench over to the Smith Machine, parked his butt on it, loaded the rack with the heaviest weights he could find, stood and did some kind of a strange exercise of his own invention. He rested for 5 minutes and did the same exercise again.
I trained my client in the 30 minutes that this person was stuck at that one machine. When he finally finished, he didn’t move the bench back to the free weight area. I had to haul it back. Geez! My client finally got to do her set of squats at the machine that was made for that exercise.
Gym etiquette is so important. Don’t hog a machine, and leave your weights, towel or equipment for someone else to clean up!

What do you think of when the word fitness comes to mind? What images and thoughts appear? What are you doing in that moment? Is it enjoyable or are you just going through the motions?
Beth's philosophy is that fitness should be fun, goal-oriented, realistic and integrated into daily life, regardless of age, gender, health and level. Attitude is everything when it comes to health and fitness.
She inspires and motivates every individual to utilize their greatest gifts: their body, heart and mind, by creating a dynamic and functional program that incorporates fitness into everyday life. The days of tedious and monotonous workouts are over! Instead, you get an exhilarating program that suits you. Variety is the spice of life!
Participating in a lifelong fitness program that excites you, empowers you, and reflects you and your goals is your ultimate health and fitness success story.
The real question is: What do you imagine for yourself now — at whatever stage you may be in your life?
