Can Changing Your Workout Environment Stop Fitness Burnout
I have been training in the same garage gym in Glasgow for three years and I think the walls are closing in on me. I love having my own space, but I am starting to feel incredibly isolated and my motivation is at zero. I am wondering if joining a commercial gym again might help.
Has anyone here found that a change of scenery helped them break a plateau? I feel like I need the energy of other people to push me through my heavy sets. On the other hand, I hate waiting for equipment and the loud music in most big box gyms.
Maybe I just need to invest in some new gear like a Rogue Ohio bar or some different plates to make my home gym feel fresh again. Or is the problem deeper than just the equipment? I would love to know if a new environment helped anyone else rediscover their passion for lifting.
