How do those in the fitness community support each other my research looks to answer this
question I chose the community because I’ve always had a personal interest in fitness and given
that society is starting to prioritize fitness wellness and health for many reasons such as
My research process broke down what I was doing into steps I started by simply observing
the community in its entire tea I went to the Sundevil fitness on the downtown Arizona State
University campus my observations would include but were not limited to the equipment in the
facility the people that were in the facility with the people were doing what they could do what
they wore and how they acted and interacted with each other My next step was interviewing
people in this community the first was Enrique Montoya a facility supervisor at the downtown
SDFC the second interview was with Tanner account a avid member of the fitness community
lastly I dug into secondary research comprised of academic journals and pop-culture sources
The result my research found that there are many important objects places and events in this
community. Different objects play different roles in this community one for instance water
bottles can be used to identify people in this community if you see someone outside of the gym
with a shaker bottle or a gallon water jug they are most likely a member of the fitness community
an item with similar purpose is clothing there clothing items such as joggers tank tops and
sneakers that people wear to the gym but also wear them outside of the gym an object that is
commonly overlook but plays an important role is headphone or earbuds they play a role beyond
just listening to music which in the gym is very important to most people according to Rachel
Germaine “a workout is ruined without music” but what I noticed about earbuds is that
sometimes people have both ears in and sometimes they only have one the reason that someone
would only have one earbud in is so they can talk to other people other objects of significance
include all the equipment that is in the gym weather they are free weights cardio equipment or
machines they are a means for people in the community to achieve their goals. This community
also has many important events and example of such events our group exercise classes these
classes provide a space for people in the community to improve upon their health In a group
environment where they can meet new people and support each other after attending three group
exercises one commonality was the instructor of the classes was constantly trying to motivate the
class and provide a supportive comfortable environment where everyone could improve upon
their house. These group actually clip size classes will not be possible without please to do them
which is where we get into places of importance and in terms of the Arizona state university
fitness community this place would be the Sundevil fitness complex (SDFC) The SDFC facilitate
the needs of all members of the fitness community to improve their overall health.
All of these results have meeting so just how when someone where is your balls and has one
earbud in and the other out it means that they’re likely willing to talk to you if you go up and ask
them questions or there working out with a workout partner or with a group of people who they
can then talk to encourage and advise knowing this is important and how one acts in the gym and
seek support within the community and one of the key elements of support is the Sundevil fitness
complex it’s self because it provides every piece of exercise equipment one could need
basketball courts group fitness classes and a pool so that it can appealed to the needs of any
member of the community to support them in improving their health Based on my research into
the fitness community’s cultural phenomena their central values are to the goals of themselves
and others when it comes to improving one’s health. According to Vinny Rockwell in todays day
and age there is a shift from reactive medicine to preventative medicine with this comes a
realization of the importance of fitness. Though Many people can become hesitant about
beginning a journey in fitness due to the common belief that those in the community are only in
it for themselves, hopefully this essay will help sway those on the edge about joining the
