Turning bad stuff into something productive is very impressive. My reason for gym visits (in reverse order): 3) fun and healthful, 2) avoiding work, and 1) mental health therapy.

I stopped going to the gym 2+ years ago because I stopped enjoying it and it made me cry. Still had to do something for 1), so running was the least stressful option. I did not enjoy it most of the time, until recently. Now I will run AND go to the gym.

Gym culture is important. My gym is a comfortable place with a lot of elderly, handicapped, and beginners. A welcoming place. Good luck to you. Have fun, Captain.

The gym I used to go to - culture was alright (I went there for 2 years), it was just a combination of little things that stressed me out. Current gym seems great - but more importantly, my medication has helped me brain remember that I enjoy lifting heavy things. Thanks!

I'm a bit scared for my hands to do actual boxing, I have metal in one of my hands because I wasn't careful with being a goalie
But I like these things where you have to touch-tag something.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

Boxing is also good for your core and legs. Am I selling it?

I did a kettlebell thing today and it was good for my core and legs. I like structure. I will do 1 thing first, then think about others. Hmm what about Krav Maga? Avenger training and all

I do bouldering at an indoor gym too which I enjoy more than the normal gym these days. I think because the bouldering puzzles require cognitive problem solving skills at well as style and strength. I also have fibromyalgia, which really doesn't help with motivating myself.

I've tried indoor bouldering, it's fun, but locations not too convenient to do on a regular basis.

I'm lucky it's next door to my house pretty much.
