My message Today to anyone out there listening is: don't be a dick. Look out for the people next to you. Life is short. We are the lucky ones and we need to take advantage of it.
Chris Daskam, the founder of AirGym, offers a refreshing perspective on fitness in this episode of 'AirGym Digest'. Forget the typical focus on reps and diets; Chris delves into the power of kindness. Imagine a world where the gym isn't just a place for physical transformation but also for building a supportive community. Chris shares a personal story about his daughter being unfairly criticized, which fuels his message: negativity has no place in our lives, especially in fitness spaces.
He stresses that bullying and mean-spirited behavior can severely impact mental health and well-being. Chris believes that a fitness community should uplift its members, not tear them down. He also touches on the role of martial arts in teaching discipline and respect, and how love can be the ultimate motivator in life. His closing words are a call to action: 'Don't be a dick. Look out for the people next to you. Life is short.
We are the lucky ones and we need to take advantage of it.' If you're tired of the same old fitness advice and want to hear something that speaks to the heart, this episode is a must-listen.
