  • The Gymshark 'Train for Life' series takes you into the gym and into the mindset of a Gymshark Athlete. We’ve stripped it back to talk about the things that matter - our stories, our beliefs, and our future. In episode 11 of the Train For Life series, we hear from Whitney Simmons. Needing an outlet during a difficult time in her life, Whitney turned to weight training. Quickly, the gym became a place for Whitney to grow - both physically, and mentally.

      First part sounds/is great, 2nd isn't in my opinion, by living there, health will decrease, especially when physical stress is combined with other stress(mental, chemical)... and, " this powerful machine" turns to health problems

    I love how starts as sharing she FAILED, which is normal, most of these youtubers try to HIDE their failures and talk about how they immediately started reaching out for success,but she lets us know its OKAY TO FAIL AS LONG AS U PICK URSELF UP!

    I have same experience.... I am 19 years old Japanese. When I started to study abroad in Australia, I had no friend and I was afraid of meeting people and talking to them... But I decided to go to the gym to escape from my loneliness.. I didn’t know the way to use any training machine... Then I was told by one stranger that I should do workout with a personal trainer to prevent injury. This was the beginning of my workout. Currently I am in Japan due to the coronavirus situation and my student VISA state, I have no idea from when I can go back to study in Australian university.. In this kind of situation, I have never stopped doing workout even though I cannot go to the gym. I hope everyone will be happier than yesterday. Thanks and do workout right now!!

    It’s a beautiful, wonderful day to be alive when you get to hear such an awesome and powerful message. This is why Whit is one of my favorite people in the entire world even though I’ve never met her in person. She always spreads positivity in an industry that can be awesome but which can also be full of negativity and criticism. She’s the best. 👌🏻

    WHIT is my all time favourite. I love her videos of inspiration, what she eats in a day, her morning routine and just her great sense of humour she's a beautiful human being with a beautiful heart. I'm a 53 year old female and as I look back at my life I had quite a similar life to Whitney. I've been in a lot of dark places in my life where I just had to pick myself up and face a new day with new challenges. And the scariest part of all of this is that no one understands what depression feels like...." Snap out of it you have so much to live for" that's what everyone said and it just made me feel worthless. I've been in the fitness industry since I was 20 years old and truly exercise and nutrition is one of the best tools to have in life. I watch Whitney's videos until early hours of the morning she's like and ADDICTION, once I start watching I simply cannot stop and my husband keeps on asking what I'm doing at this time of the morning.... Never stop what you do Whitney you were meant to be on this earth to make all of us appreciate life and to be grateful for what we have. It's a beautiful day to be ALIVE... May you be blessed in abundance and be successful in everything you do on this beautiful journey...Much Love...Yvette

    1:28 She is spot on. Whatever gets you there. I always tell people, pick some core consistent stuff to work on, then set some time or days aside just to experiment and play around. Most people aren't trying to be professionals so no need to be hardcore. Just put in the effort but try to enjoy yourself too.

Thank you for sharing your story you deserve everything good that comes your way, I love you girl
