So, what does your friends/girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband/family think of your training? My girlfriend was quite enthusiastic when I started and she got interested in fitness. On the other hand my family were rather suspicious of the whole traning thing but it seems they're slowly getting used to it.
I have been training irregularly and my friends are impressed with the growth in my arms but they think I'm silly for not letting them train with me as I can't train if someone else is there, which is why I built a home gym.
Nobody really cares too much. They'll compliment me if I look nice but that is about it. Usually when I'm eating healthy, they look at me like I'm crazy.
Some of my friends think that I'm pathetic, for wasting my time at the gym, while others actually want to join me at the gym. Some of my family members think it's useless and a waste of money, but none of the negative comments matter to me. Whatever you choose to do in life, there will always be Chicken Littles and people who put you down. It is ultimately up to you to decide what you want to do with your life, and I chose to continue going to the gym because I know it's a good way to stay healthy, and feel good. I feel that going to the gym is more beneficial than sitting down on the couch watching TV or playing games all day on the computer.
My wife is inspired by my commitment to working out, so much so that both she joined my gym. Shortly after that my sister joined too. Both of them have only been once though! And that was on the same day! Lol
My friends really support me to the point where I even inspired them somehow by my workouts. They are now my training buddies and we have each others support in helping getting fit and changing our overall lifestyle. It's truly great and I couldn't have asked for a better person to workout with.
