Creating the best atmosphere in the gym comes down to many different factors. The gym needs an atmosphere that honours the concept of creating a space where all walks of life can enjoy their workouts. Being in the gym is not just about training the body, it is about training the mind and spirit too. The best atmosphere in any gym can be achieved when we take small steps to achieve all areas of health and wellness.
BUILDING A POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE
There are many ways to build a positive atmosphere within a gym. Live Well Health Clubs has always been passionate about creating a space that everyone loves and we believe that this should not just happen during training, but in all areas of life.
10 WAYS TO BUILD A POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE
Here are 10 ways to build a positive atmosphere so that you can attain wellbeing in all areas of life.
USE DAILY AFFIRMATIONS
Words have extremely positive power. When you communicate, your words can not only influence others. You can also transform your internal state of wellness on a deep and profound level.
Affirmations are powerful, positive statements. They aim to direct your conscious and subconscious mind. They challenge previously held unhealthy and negative thinking patterns. When they are spoken out loud, they can alter your:
- Thoughts
- Emotions
- Belief systems
- Behaviour
EAT A BALANCED DIET
When we eat a balanced diet, we are able to completely nourish our bodies with the right nutrition. Eating a balanced diet also has a positive impact on our mental health.
DRINK MORE WATER
It’s not just about drinking more water. It’s about replacing fizzy and sugary drinks with water. Drinking water should come naturally, and research shows that we should not wait until we are thirsty. We should drink more water each day to hydrate all parts of the body. This is especially important for those wanting to create an atmosphere gym. The more you work out, the more water needed.
JOIN A 24 HOUR FITNESS GYM
Join a 24-hour fitness gym so that you can attend whatever time of the day. Create a positive atmosphere by showing up to a range of workouts that will challenge your mind and body. This will open the doors to body, mind and soul transformation.
CREATE A VISION BOARD
To create a positive atmosphere, we must set goals and put them in place. We can do this by creating a vision board. There are many great ways to create a unique vision board – you can add lots of motivational quotes and colour to inspire you to achieve your goals.
PRACTICE MINDFULNESS
Practicing mindfulness is just as important and doing the rest. Once we have shown up and done the hard work, we must also slow down. Slowing down to be mindful means doing something without being distracted. It’s about being fully present in the now.
PUT HEALTHY HABITS IN PLACE
When we put healthy habits in place within our lives, we are able to feel more positively uplifted. We can be sure that we are taking good care of ourselves. We can create a positive atmosphere by showing up to daily routine training.
DEVELOP A ROUTINE
When we develop a routine, our body clock can thrive at its optimal level. This means being productive by setting aside time for work and other activities. It also means going to bed at the same time each night because when our body clock has a routine, it can achieve an optimal state of health.
CREATE ART
When was the last time you put paint to the canvas just for the fun of it? We often try to do many things in life and expect an outcome. But the truth is that we can build a positive atmosphere by doing the things that we love. We create this through healthy expression and creativity. Create some art for your home and see the benefits for yourself. Most importantly, enjoy the journey!
JOURNAL YOUR EMOTIONS
Sometimes it’s good to put pen to paper. It’s nice to express your emotions through writing. Write down your dreams and goals in a journal and stay on top of achieving them. This is particularly important for creating a positive atmosphere because it enables you to track exactly how you are feeling each day regarding your workouts.
WORKOUT MUSIC
Workout music is available to use on many platforms. Whether it’s YouTube or Spotify, access to workout music is endless. Choose a playlist that will help you move forward to achieve your fitness goals. Ask yourself the following questions:
- What workout music is best for me?
- What workout music helps me train better?
- What workout music motivates me?
GYM TOWEL
Live Wellness Health Clubs has a strict measure in place due to the current COVID-19 crisis – no gym towel, no workout. We have put this in place because we are here to protect every member who walks through the door. We aim to keep this club as clean and healthy as possible, so don’t forget to bring your gym towel.
WORST TYPES OF GYM BEHAVIOUR
The worst types of gym behaviour are not attending the gym at all. You have to show up to your training program each day if you are serious about achieving your fitness goals.
Other worst types of gym behaviour are comparing yourself to others. This is a very unhealthy approach to achieving your goals because comparing yourself to others does not help you or anyone. Remember that everyone is at different stages in achieving their goals so you must focus on the journey and not so much the destination. And more importantly, you need to enjoy it your time spent in the gym.
