[@KevTheTrainer]

Are you starting at the gym?! Let me know how I can help and what other videos you’d like to see! Also, mixup at 11:25, the terms eccentric and concentric should be reversed. 🙂

[@csder13]

This was great, you explain things very clearly. Thank you so much.
I’d love to see a video on nutrition.

[@KevTheTrainer]

@@csder13 Hi, Cecilia! Thank you so much! That’s a great idea! I’ll put something together for that. Nutrition and gym go hand in hand!

[@sudeepamukherjee3042]

I'm. Beginner and 55 yrs old..thanks for the video. I don't know exactly which exercise is actually I should focus on. I've lost lots of muscle mass. So I have started doing streching exercises. Please recommend which exercise is actually required for muscle mass gain..and about nutrition or diet plan. Thank you.

[@firefly7416]

thanks bro, today will be my first to the gym. this helps a lot.

[@KevTheTrainer]

@@firefly7416 you’re welcome! You got this!

[@emelyncardenas6083]

Your the first person that actually goes in to detail

[@KevTheTrainer]

Hey, Emelyn! Thank you! I was trying to create something I hadn’t seen before and I wish I had known when I started, so I’m so glad this helps!

[@Lucian-Confusion]

Exactly

[@user-cp1gd6dr4w]

Thanks for showing I literally walk in the gym don’t understand how some machines work

[@nadaahmed6236]

I KNOW RIGHT?? i watched many other videos but was still very lost,\. He’s the only one that actually made stuff clear

[@sandraestrada3295]

exactly ppl fr gatekeep working out

[@GaeFootballClub]

as someone with extreme anxiety about places im unfamiliar with, showing me what the gyms look like really helps me out.

[@user-ih7vq8sy5h]

I'm literally emotional watching this. I have been so incredibly intimidated and insecure about going to the gym. I'm a mom of 3 and I'm in desperate need to get stronger being that I'm feeling so weak after just a few minutes playing with my kids. Today I felt so defeated because I have no idea how to operate alot of machines let alone structure a workout plan. I show up to the gym, but have no idea what I'm doing. This video made it all come together and make me feel 1000% confident that I can do this! Thank you so very much!!!

[@KevTheTrainer]

Hey, there! I’m sooooo glad that this video could help! It’s so brave that you’re going out of your comfort zone to become stronger for your kids. That’s an incredible “why” and what’ll keep you going to stay motivated and disciplined. The gym can be an intimidating place at first, but I’m certain that you can do it! The more you go, the easier it’ll become. You got this! ☺️

[@ignskeletons]

We support you! A tip I learned is that some of the machines have QR codes on them. If you point your phone's camera app it should open a link that shows a video of how the machine works and what to do. May vary on location and if they setup the stickers or not.

[@melrow3697]

Perfect Perfect PERFECT!!!
1. Clear and to the point
2. Detailed information without fluff
3. No loud music drowning you out
4. Great video
5. Amazing audio
6. Impeccable editing
I definitely subscribed and about to binge watch your channel. Thanks so much for the effort you put into making this video. You're a Rockstar!

[@KevTheTrainer]

Hey, Melrow! Thank you so much for all your kind words! Seeing it all listed out is sooo nice and definitely made my day! It’s gratifying that you noticed all the work I put in. Appreciate you watching more of my videos. Will continue to put out the same great, if not better quality! Thank you so much!

[@TashaOrmiston]

You are an angel sent from above. I’m going to the gym for the first ever time tonight (I’m 28, that’s how deep the gym anxiety is!) This has reduced my anxiety significantly. Honestly thank you 🙏🏼

[@lilsoup442]

No one else here on CZcams explained it better than you. All in 1 video filled with information. Can’t ask for more.

[@ignskeletons]

I'm 27 years old, 230 pounds and I'm getting pudgy. I got no one to blame but myself. I ate a bad diet but now I'm ready to change that. Signed up to Planet Fitness today and am going for the first time after work today. It doesn't help I work from home from a desk so I don't move around during work hours. Ready to make that change! No excuses

[@KevTheTrainer]

Proud of you for taking that first step! Here’s to the beginning of something great. You got this!

[@jennifertenorio9543]

I'm so glad I found your videos. As a beginner, this definitely gives me the confidence I needed to use other machines besides the treadmill and elliptical. I'll be looking for more of your content!

[@KevTheTrainer]

Hi, Jennifer! Thank you so much! I’m really happy this video could help you go beyond just those two cardio machines! Strength training will be a great addition to your routine. More content to come!

[@Giant_Panghu]

Perfect! Good job Kev!

[@Sophia-xn4ys]

Awesome video, thank you

[@jamlemon]

I’ve started back up at the gym after a few years break following my son’s birth. Feel like a beginner again so turned to CZcams for help as I can’t rely on just running for 30 min anymore. Anyway, love the video, simple and well edited as people have pointed out.
Also like how it’s clearly filmed in a commercial gym but you’ve gone to the trouble of doing it when no one is around, seeing so many videos shaming people recently so well done you.

[@sajithveesa6267]
