My experience with people who are really into working out is that they want everyone to be into working out, and want to help you get there. They’re nerds for lifting. They’re excited to get you excited.

Bouldering gyms are like this too. The best climbers are the ones stopping what they’re doing to cheer for and hype up the beginners. Mostly very wholesome group
