Am I overthinking this gym experience?
24 | M | 59kg
So it’s my first time going to the gym, and I really want to improve my upper body, particularly my flat chest. I availed the free assessment sa gym. The assessment went like this: nag timbang muna, then after warm-up exercises, tinuruan niya ako ng gym equipment and proper form for chest press, lat pulldown, bench press, and leg press.
Whenever I asked for routine suggestions, sinasabi niya na “later, tuturuan kita.” Then our “coaching” session continued habang tinuturo niya yung proper form. Pero since may waiting siyang client, we proceeded agad to discussing his coaching session promos and pricing. That part felt kind of awkward kasi hindi man lang kami naka post-workout exercises.
Then I told him na wala pa talaga sa budget ko yung coaching sessions since may 3-month lock-in period pa yung gym membership. After that, iniwan niya na lang ako sa front desk kasi may client nga siyang waiting.
Question: Should I still proceed with availing the 3-month lock-in promo even if hindi ko i-aavail yung coaching sessions niya? Baka kasi ma-offend siya or pag-initan ako. Gets ko naman na helpful talaga ang coaching since I’m new to this and hindi pa optimized yung form ko, pero wala pa talaga sa budget ko yung 5-digit coaching sessions.
I hope you can give me advice because I really want to pursue bulking this year. Thanks!
