09/14/2026

There's a lot of conversation in the fitness world right now about a competitor who had an accident during a fitness competition.. that made me think how far some people are willing to go for their sense of accomplishment, and many other avenues of acceptance. Do you need a fitness competition to be motivated as someone who is not chasing an elite status? We talk about this a lot around the gym. Here's my opinion on it, from both sides of the platform as someone who once participated in different forms of competition.
