Even on the worst of weeks the gym is a place of refuge. I grew up a skinny small kid with low self confidence. I wouldnβt even take my shirt off in front of others until I was around 19/20. In my life Iβve been through some things but the one stable factor in my control has been my consistency in the gym. Itβs one thing in the midst of what I canβt control that I can control. And for that i am grateful.
