After pursuing memberships at many gyms over the past 10 years, I can truly state that the RWL possesses unmatched character.
Due to the influences of my peers, and through my own lack of understanding, I had always been of the opinion that if I did not lift heavy, I shall never reach my desired goal for a superior physique.
After years of perseverance I finally gave up. I did not see results, I was always tired, my nutrition was poor, and I truly did not think it necessary to waste my time on this endeavour.
I slowly sank further into the abyss, with the assistance of the"Colonel" (KFC), regular alcohol consumption, and a few doses of nicotine.
In May, my cousin, Rishi "Starsky" Thobhani has mentioned that he has joined another gym. I began to bombard him with, I suppose, typical questions such as, "How large is the free weight area?" and "how long do you have to wait for the treadmill?"
I was intrigued at the fact that RWL had no cardio equipment, and was going to ask further questions, however when the conversation turned to the costs involved, I decided this route was not for me.
This period coincided with a pre booked trip to the Lake District, where my wife and I challenged ourselves with an 8 mile trek. We couldn't complete it.
My wife and I knew that our health was continuing at a rapid pace in a downward spiral, and we needed to break free from it - so we joined a local gym upon our return home.
They tried to con us into an 18 month membership until, and like getting blood from a stone, we managed to find out that a 4 week trial was an option.
Unsatisfied, we still commenced with the trial due to the gyms close proximity to our home.
I lasted three morbid sessions at this new venue before reverting back my old ways. My wife used the gym slightly more than me, but was never impressed with it.
Another conversation with Rishi ensued. He spoke passionately about RWL, that he was achieving all of his targets and hitting his personal best at levels he never thought would be possible in a previous life.
I needed to see what this RWL gym was about, so booked an appointment with Joe Hanney.
Joe Hanney - Legend
During our initial meeting we discussed nutrition, methods of exercising, ways of thinking, sleep patterns, and a number of other related topics.
45 minutes.
I had learnt more in this amount of time about the processes within my mind and body, and how to potentially excel to achieve my goal.
45 minutes talking to Joe in comparison to the past 5,256,000 minutes over 10 years = 0.000008%
Imagine what could be achieved if I dedicated 100% of my time to the RWL way.
I soon realised that the financial implications were minuscule compared to the potential achievement that could be gained, through this lifestyle choice.
My wife and I have only been a part of this elite team for 5 weeks, and we can feel and see changes already. I have not consumed any intoxicants from August 1st to the present day - I simply do not wish for anything to stand in the way of my progress.
From personal experiences, I have seen how quickly the mind and body can revert into negative states.
Therefore, my aim is to continue, to never look back, to never stop, to never give in to the widespread temptations that are so vividly apparent in our daily existence.
The physical goals we wish to achieve may change, however, it is the mental state that reigns supreme:
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts."
