True fitness is surpassing oneself. It is a school of life according to Aimé Jacquet. In particular, fitness centers are an escape where one feels completely distanced from the worries of everyday life. Fitness is the means to resist the increase in certain diseases such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disorder, and many others. On top of it all, it is a great way to strengthen our immune system. We don’t do it because we have to, we do it out of passion and out of love for our mental and physical health. We aspire for it to rock us, motivate us to be in good shape, and make us feel good in our own skin. No matter what part of a gym you go to, you do it in order to achieve results.
We are talking about one of the major elements that help to fight diseases in complete security, and the sole impact of which is well-being. We can see it in an athlete’s smile, it is not only a way to refine their appearance, but more importantly, it is a way to develop a beautiful harmony with one’s existence. “A holy spirit in a healthy body”, as the old saying goes which encompasses mental and physical health that has been dictated through training. The gym is one of the means to have a mindset nourished by assiduous training, a way of putting forward personal goals, an array of surpassing oneself. The gym is a place where we can find each other, regardless of our ideology, because we are all looking for one thing: to be healthy. It’s not just about eating well, it’s also about being active. We all have this point in common which allows us to come together and combine our efforts to move forward.
We come together to evolve. When we put on our sports sneakers, we do it with pride like a policeman, a doctor, or a soldier is proud to put on their uniform. An open gym is a call of duty. It is a call to come together in order to get in shape, become healthier, and to enable your passions to flourish. There is an athlete in each of us whose opium is fitness and the gym is his templar.
