UR Podcast S02E03: Taking UR First Step

Hands up if you’re reading this and think you need to get fit and get in shape *before* you go to a gym or take up a new sport or class.

When you think about it, does that seem a little backwards to you?

For many people engaging with a gym, class, training group or sport of any size, the first step can often be the most difficult. How do you cross that white line? What does it take to get through the front door for the first time? What about sending that email, that message, making that phone call? Last episode, we spoke about training for life, but you can’t train for life unless you take the first step on your journey, and that can look different for everyone. It can be intimidating.

In this episode, we’ll look at how we help people take their first steps from an Urban Gym perspective and how that first step stretches into other areas of life. We’re meeting people where they’re at and it’s out job to support you on your journey, make sure you’re comfortable, you’re welcomed, you feel safe in your space and that your first step leads to a second, a third, and more.

We’ll touch on managing expectations, maintaining motivation, and whether someone stays for a season or a lifetime, the goal is always the same - leave you feeling better than when you came in.

Ultimately, we believe in doing work we enjoy with people who lift us up—and that mindset drives everything we do.

So how are you going to take your first step?
