Yes You Can Gym Group

Be honest… how many of these have you been pretending you know how to use?

The cable attachments.

Some are obvious.

Some look vaguely familiar.

And some look like they’ve been designed for a completely different purpose 😂

Most of us find our favourite one and stick with it while quietly ignoring the other 12.

So we thought we’d put you to the test…

How many of our cable attachments do you actually know how to use?

And is there one you’ve always wondered about but never asked?

Tell us below 👇

NEVER USED GYM EQUIPMENT BEFORE?

You’re not supposed to magically know how it all works

Which way do I sit?

Where does this bit go?

Is that weight too heavy?

Why are there seventeen different adjustments on this machine?!

We’ve all got to learn somewhere.

When you join Yes You Can, we’ll give you an induction, show you how to use the equipment and create a personalised training plan for you to follow.

And if you forget something the next time you come in?

Ask us again.

Seriously. We don’t mind.

We’d much rather you ask than spend ten minutes staring at a machine hoping the instructions suddenly make sense

You don’t need gym experience to join a gym.

That’s what we’re here to help you with.

UNWRITTEN GYM RULE #13

If you say “I’ll remember what weight I used”… you absolutely will not. 😂

You were certain you’d remember.

Was it 8kg?
10kg?
Was the seat on 4 or 5?
What did you even do last week?

Five minutes later you’re staring at the machine hoping it somehow jogs your memory.

Write. It. Down.

“I feel like I have found a family.”

There are reviews that make you smile… and then there are ones that get you right in the feels.

Marinela joined us almost a year ago and this is how she describes Yes You Can Gym.

Not just somewhere she comes to exercise.

Somewhere she feels supported, encouraged and surrounded by people who want her to keep going.

And she’s absolutely right about one thing…

It’s the people who create this place.

The chats between sets.

The encouragement when someone is struggling.

The laughs during classes.

The friendships that probably wouldn’t have happened if someone hadn’t decided one day to walk through our doors.

We can buy equipment and put on classes, but you can’t buy that feeling of belonging.

That comes from the people inside the building.

Thank you Marinela for being part of our slightly bonkers gym family.

And thank you to all our members for helping make Yes You Can what it is.

One of the best reasons to lift weights? Your future self.

Getting stronger isn’t just about lifting heavier weights or changing how you look.

It’s about everyday life.

Getting up off the floor without thinking about it.

Carrying your shopping.

Climbing the stairs.

Keeping your balance.

Playing with the grandchildren.

Going on holidays, walking, gardening and continuing to do all the things you enjoy.

And there isn’t an age where you’ve suddenly “left it too late”.

We have people starting at Yes You Can at all different ages, abilities and fitness levels.

You start where you are.

We help you from there

“I WOULDN’T HAVE A CLUE WHAT TO DO.”

Probably one of the biggest worries we hear from people thinking about joining a gym.

What machine do I use?

How do I set it up?

How heavy should I go?

How many reps am I supposed to do?

And what on earth am I meant to do for an actual workout?

We don’t expect you to walk through the door already knowing all of that.

Your membership includes an induction and a personalised training plan, so you’ve actually got something to follow when you come in.

We’ll show you how to use the equipment, help you get started and there’s ongoing support and advice whenever you need it.

You’re not paying for a membership and then being left to wander around trying to look like you know what you’re doing

Your reps aren’t against the clock

We’ve all seen it.

10 reps completed at a speed that would impress an Olympic sprinter.

Done. Next exercise.

But sometimes slowing things down can make a HUGE difference.

Control the weight on the way up.

Control it on the way back down.

Use a good range of movement and make the muscles do the work instead of letting momentum take over.

Try it next time you train.

Same exercise. Same weight. Just slow those reps down a little.

You might suddenly discover that weight feels VERY different

SO… WHAT DOES A 30+ GYM ACTUALLY MEAN?

It doesn’t mean you hit 30 and suddenly need a completely different gym

It means we understand that training in your 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond can look a little different.

You’ve got work, families and busy lives to fit around.

Bodies change.

Things sometimes ache that definitely didn’t ache ten years ago.

And your reason for exercising might not be about looking a certain way anymore.

You might want to feel stronger.

Have more energy.

Keep up with the kids or grandkids.

Feel more confident.

Move better.

Or simply have an hour that’s yours.

At Yes You Can, you’ll find people at all different stages, training for all sorts of reasons.

There’s no expectation that you should already be fit and nobody cares how much weight you can lift.

Come in, do your thing, have a chat, probably have a laugh and go home feeling better than when you arrived.

UNWRITTEN GYM RULE #12

If you haven’t seen one of the regulars for a few days… someone WILL ask where they are. 😂

“Has anyone seen Dave?”

“Is Sue on holiday?”

“Where’s our Tuesday morning gang?”

You came for a gym membership and accidentally joined a community where your absence gets noticed.

And yes… we’ll expect a full explanation when you’re back. 😂💚
