When people ask me about what we do down here at RISE……..
One question I sometimes get is some version of……..
“It’s not all competitive, is it?”
Which I get.
Many people have been put off exercise by what you could describe as the overly competitive environment in which they’ve tried it in the past.
Loud, testosterone fuelled competitions that many find off putting.
Super fit people in gyms making lots of noise as they workout.
And it’s very much not like that down here at RISE.
But us humans are often a bit more competitive than we might like to tell ourselves.
I’d wager that everyone that ever did one of our Sessions did more in it than they would do if they were working out by themselves.
More repetitions, less rest, greater weight or some variation like that.
And that, to some degree, is down to the fact that we know other people are watching.
Even on a subconscious level we might be aware of who else is in the Session………
And how feel we should be able to ‘perform’ compared to many of them.
We’ll all do a bit more when doing a workout with others.
It’s a competition that everyone wins.
It’s not about actually doing more than the other person.
It’s not about winners and losers.
It’s about us all doing more than we would have done otherwise.
And everyone wins when that happens (check out our four week ‘Transformation Programme’ at www.myrise.co.uk/apply if you’d like start winning with your health and fitness – and see if you can keep on winning thereafter with the full results and lasting change that comes with our RISE Together Programme).
Much love,
