I’ve learned a fail-proof way to guarantee that would make every gym worldwide remain empty. I don’t mean sparsely used, either. I also don’t mean that a squat rack would always be open. What I mean is what I said.
This one rule would guarantee that no one would step foot in a gym again.
The thought came to me seeing a middle-aged man with his wife and dog in line at the coffee shop. He was wearing sandals, so his collapsed arch and clearly related valgus knee position were obvious to any keen movement-savvy observer. One hip sat demonstratively higher than the other, too. His wife? A classic case of kyphotic shoulders, but who doesn’t, am I right? As a dog lover, I was both heartbroken and unsurprised by the hip dysplasia that is so common in German Shepherds.
So, how do you ensure perfectly vacant gyms worldwide? You forbid anyone with a remarkable imbalance, injury, or compensation from entering. That’s how.
I hope you can see where I’m going with this. See you at the gym!
