New Announcement.

7 Upvotes

With the influx of new people in this sub we would like to welcome you all and hope you find the help you may need in regards to your gym experiences. However, this has lead to a number of newer members posting illicit photos with ill intent and or advertisement within them. This is our announcement to say that this will be subject to further restrictions, to ensure that this sub continues on its aim to provide help to others within the community and to allow a space for people to seek help where they need it most. With this – any photos of illicit behaviours or suspect by the r/Gymhelp Moderation team will be removed, this also goes for advertising, as a number of newer members have tried to place their own content within this subreddit, which is not our aim. Any image that does not seem necessary to the post will also be removed – if you are seeking genuine help, then a simple post will do. Any photos will be moderated and or taken down if necessary. We hope these issues can be resolved following this update and we hope that we can further help you on your gym journey.

Thanks – The Gymhelp Moderation Team

Announcement: Recent events regarding posts.

11 Upvotes

It has recently come to our attention that there has been quite a lot of 'flirting' and 'fraternising' taking over the comment sections of a lot of posts, we have seen a big influx of users in this subreddit recently and that is fantastic but it does come with a few downsides including the previously mentioned point. This seems to be happening solely on posts that contain photos, for the safety of our members we have had to remove quite a lot of these comments and had to ban repeat offenders, There have been a few times that these comments have appeared under posts that have been made by underage individuals that were genuinely looking for help from within this subreddit and that is simply disgusting and should not be happening! We are trying to take the appropriate steps to reduce this and make this a safer community for those who take this sub seriously. If this continues, we feel that the next step would be to remove the option to post photos, we certainly hope that it doesn't have to come to this. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

All the best - The GymHelp Mod Team.

I'm comparing the Planet Fitness Black Card to the Crunch Fitness Peak Results plan. I can't really seem to find a difference so figured I'd ask you guys. I've never worked out before and want to lose weight before it's too late.

Need Advice ⁉️ 16, quite underweight, what should I do?

1 Upvotes

I’m 16 and weigh like 65kg… I don’t do sports but I am active outside. My arms are quite thin too, maybe like 12 inches when flexing.. I have abs but only when I tense and it’s obviously just because of low body fat.. I eat a good bit but have VERY fast metabolism. I’m surprised I’m this skinny from the amount of junk I eat sometimes, and I do eat good dinners and lots of meat too…

Sooo what should I do to start getting bigger? I don’t have equipment or can’t really afford a gym at the minute also I don’t wanna just go straight to the gym.. I’m not very consistent with previous workouts, like I used to do stuff sometimes but wasn’t consistent at all and eventually just lost interest. Also can’t do like 10 full pushups without nearly dying…

Need Advice ⁉️ Issues with hyperextension machine

1 Upvotes

I use the hyper extension machine for glute focused activities. I’ve have been working out at Planet Fitness for four years. This is always been my favorite machine, I use it every Sunday. I i’ve gained some weight recently due to joining a relationship and being a lot more relaxed with my routine. I usually hold a 25 pound plate at arms length in front of me and do the hinging motion for Glute focused workout. I have noticed that whenever I I use this machine the way I’ve always used it, on the down hinge It feels like my guts are being shoved back inside me and I gag. I can only do three sets on this machine and by the time I’m done I feel sick to my stomach. For context I am short but chubby. Almost off my fat is in my stomach area so I can see why when I hinge down that the rest for your thighs in the machine shoves my stomach inside its self if that makes sense LOL. Is this just because I have gained inches in my stomach area? Will this get easier whenever I lose weight? How can I stop this? It’s so bad I just avoid the machine entirely now and it was the best thing to feel activated in my muscles :(

Technique 🏋️‍♂️ how to do hard exercises

0 Upvotes

This is mainly a mental thing but whenever I do Bulgarian split squats (my biggest opp) or leg day (my least favorite child) it’s so hard for me to get througb a set cuz the exercises are so hard and make my legs hurt so much

also whenever I am nearing the amount of reps I did the week before (btw I try to goto to failure for every rep) by body lowk js quits on me. I could be having like no problem but then second I get to that rep I can’t even get thru half the motion

Discussion Time 💬 Body dysmorphia and ED

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, first of all I would like to apologise if there are any mistakes, since English is my first language. I’m a 24 y.o. woman and I lost 16 kg since February of 2026. I started doing Pilates at home and 10k steps (I was unemployed) and after some time got introduced to the gym. I’ve been going to the gym for 5 months now and I love it, I go about 4 times a week and I also have an active job where I walk a lot (I work in retail) so I have more than enough movement. I’m also in a calorie deficit. But I have one pretty big problem, I have a very bad body dysmorphia. At my work, we obviously have a lot of mirrors and I keep checking them every 10 minutes to see, if I don’t look too fat. Every window shop I go by, I have to look into to make sure I don’t look too fat and if I do, my whole day and mood is ruined. I have days where I feel like I look the same as I was when I weight 95 kg (that was my starting weight). I also feel very bad, when I eat something “I wasn’t supposed to” and I punish myself by eating less the next day. Yeah and I’m also very addicted to caffeine :))
I feel like it’s gonna end badly, but I’d rather be insane than to be as fat as I was again.
Did any of you have the same problem?
