The best thing about Gymnation?

[Pseudonym]

Tell me, and you could win a Gymnation tshirt/singlet.

 

 

Gymnation will soon be running some ads on Facebook and other places. The question is, what's going to attract people here? I've got a few ideas, but I want to know what you guys think. What are our biggest strengths?

 

Finish this statement: You should join Gymnation because...

 

- You can be part of a community of local people with similar goals

 

- There's the chance to learn from experienced members

  (Or, for experienced members, the chance to share their knowledge)

 

- You can get a range of opinions and advice

 

- We're honest... no hype or political allegiances. We tell it like it is.

 

- Motivate and educate yourself from reading other people's journals

 

- Banter (probably not such an initial drawcard, but still an element)

 

- We've got the resources to help you achieve your goals

 

- ___________________________ (fill in your own)

 

 

 

I want as many people as possible to answer this. Lurkers, that means you too! So as an incentive, everyone who replies goes in the draw to win a Gymnation tshirt or singlet.

1. The drama, you can't get shit like this anywhere else, especially when egos clash

2. the funny cunts, always make things real interesting

3. usually the first place (other than fb) where people will post a video or article to things when it comes to bb/pl

Im addicted to this forum. I like posting here cause it's pretty funny had me pissing myself out loud so many times over the years. It's a democratic place to debate and share ideas around lifting... This is the main reason im not on Facebook all these fitness pages are such a dictatorship with a person moderating them to suit their own views on fitness (or lack of). No one learns anything and it's just BS. I like reading blogs but find these lack the interaction and offer less POV than a forum. And I dislike international forums because thet are too big and it's cool interacting with ppl from your country where I can relate to everything said.

Favourite things on gymnation for me would have to be the general chitchat forum just when random shit comes up. I like reading reviews on competitions and events people write when thet compete at them and I get an insight into what the day was like in their shoes... or even if they just attend them so I can hear about it. I like reddogs and MTs log at the moment with all the videos they put up.

yeah logs with videos etc are mean

good to put face to names if you been following them for a while 

[Skeletor]

Gymnations like a little community. You get to know all the people and see the results they've made through their logs so you know when you ask advice you're getting good feedback from people who have actually been through it, not just read something on the internet. Its also a good place to sit back and just browse the threads for ideas and new ways to train. You can get info on programs, dietary advice and even anabolics.  Its basicly a one stop shop for all your lifting needs.  My fav bits are the journals and videos, seeing people hit new p.bs or records. That's what makes me wanna go hard in the gym.

yup think he posted some a few days ago check in logs

[ngapuhi strong]

Best things to me is the advice you get is coming from local as in nz people

. reading training logs of people like leroid who started so small and has worked his way to were he is today is motivating

[HarryB]

Over the years watching people on the forums change. It's entertaining and inspiring...

[reddog]

i also just really enjoy the logs, dont post hell of alot but I do follow most of regular journals, some really good stuff going on!! 

[Pseudonym]

Aw, cheers guys - I'm getting all teh warm fuzzies here!

 

Getting your thoughts like this is really helpful, because I'm just too close to have an objective opinion. Thanks.

[jimmybro1]

I visit the forum way more than other social networks like bookface. 

 

Just don't like all the bullsh*t post and boring sh*t that people put up there. The whole thing seems to be designed to just advertise yourself.... 

 

I try not post anything lifting/fitness related on there, so its good to have somewhere to post fitness related things were other people have an interest/opinion.

Maccaz should still get something for pretending he didnt drink rotten milk
