I am sick and tired of hearing people complain about how "old" our equipment is at my local gym. Our equipment is not "old", it works perfectly fine. Just because it doesn't have a 40" plasma attached to it doesn't mean it isn't any good. People are forgetting the main reason we go to the gym. The main reason we go to the gym is to reach our fitness goals and transform our body to fit our likings. Does that require a plasma TV and a fancy machine that talks to you? No, all it requires is the proper equipment. A lat pull down machine is a lat pull down machine. If it was made in 2009 or 1909 it is still going to give you the same results. Just because you have the latest and greatest equipment doesn't mean you are going to get the results you want. In fact, in my opinion is iit is going to inhibit your results. For example, you go to the gym tomorrow to get a good cardio workout. Your object is to bust your ass for a period of time and burn some calories. If you have a TV sitting right in front of you with the New England Patriots on, are you really going to get the best possible workout? No, you are going to be more focused on how Tom Brady is doing. You go to the gym to get results not to watch TV, that is why you have a living room in your house. So, next time you go to the gym , ask youself something? I am going to be here for this amount of time, am I going to get everything out of this with the time that I have? Is a machine that was built in 2010 with all the bells and whistles, plasma TV and all going to get you the resutls? No, hard work, dedication, and persitance will get you the results you want!
