Finding Gym Motivation: Andreas Petsides by Andreas Constantinou

For this article we want to focus on two things: on Andreas by Andreas and the motivation we can find on the gym.

We all care about our fitness and health (no one is doubting that), but according to the numbers our well-being is far from the only reason we lace up our sneakers.

Thirty-two percent of Americans say the possibility of meeting someone at the gym motivates them.

Can I say that Andreas Petsides–Cyprus/Limassol based– he’s a Certified Personal trainer and gym owner.

Yes, he’s a Physical Education and Sports Science at Democritus University of Thrace.

So what makes the gym an optimal breeding ground? It’s a physically intimate space.

Gym and motivation

There’s the skimpy spandex and the sweat-sheer tanks providing a glimpse of a stranger’s physique. There’s the heavy breathing, the panting, the grunting. It’s a place to be the animals we are, more so than we can be on the city streets. And of course, there’s the sweat.

Sweat communicates much more than the intensity of your last interval burst. It transmits pheromones, hormones that contain information about our chemical composition and play a large role in sexual selection.

“The gym can become a perfect storm of attraction. His increase in testosterone makes him more attractive to her at the same time as it’s making him feel more attracted to her.” According to Forbes.

Remember, if you want to reach your goals is important you can involved yourself with all the knowledge you can find about exercised, reach out to all trainers, paid online trainers, speak up your mind.

Constantinou–the photographer– born and raised on the island of Cyprus he has been fascinated by photography since early twenties, when a transition from painting to photography slowly took place.

“I really enjoy exploring various genres of photography, but portraiture is what I’m really passionate about. Human faces are so unique and so are people’s characters, emotions and expressions.”

3 Ways to Motivate Yourself to Go to the Gym

A gym membership is a great way to give yourself access to high-quality fitness equipment, classes, and trainers. However, many people who have gym memberships do not use them regularly. If you are trying to motivate yourself to go to the gym more often, there are several strategies you can try, such as rewarding yourself, connecting with people at your gym, and keeping your gym bag somewhere convenient.

Purchase an audiobook that you commit to listen to only at the gym. 

Research has shown that only being able to listen to an audiobook while at the gym motivates people to go to the gym more often. Choose an audiobook that you are very interested in listening to so that this will actually motivate you.

Set up a reward system. Knowing that you have something that you are working towards may also help you to stay motivated to go to the gym. Take some time to establish rewards for going to the gym a certain number of times weekly and monthly.

Calculate the cost of not going to the gym. Gym memberships are not cheap, so not using your membership is a waste of money. If losing money motivates you, then take some time to calculate how much money you will be losing by not going to the gym or not going often enough.
