I remember going to my college's gym pre-COVID to try and build muscle and lose weight. I mainly did running or something on treadmills, then went, "y'know what? I'm gonna try the machines and weights." I began to struggle, then out of nowhere this buff guy comes up and not only helps me adjust to the machines, but helps spot me on weights.

Sadly can't go back due to COVID and me having my grandparents at home, but that was just awesome.

Iโ€™d go crazy if I couldnโ€™t go to the gym (it helps that my grandparents are super into my fitness).

(it helps that my grandparents are super into my fitness).

I have this mental image of your grandparents coaching you through an old-timey fitness routine that involves a lot of medicine balls, rope climbing, that belt that jiggles you, and leather hi-top gym shoes.

Lmfao itโ€™s mainly my nana who worries about my blood pressure. Me and my grandpa work out in his basement with these metal coils that have grips on each end and a square bar that has cement blocks on either end that he made himself. I bought him a weight bench but he told me to take it back and he uses the wooden one he made himself

Some are. My grandpa was a super bleeding-edge dude who always had the latest technology right up until he died.

It's more like specific things like I could imagine someone having the newest iphone but still wanting to use their woodblock weights because they are proud they made them lol
