No Pink Dumbbells has been a great find for me. After moving to Lancaster from D.C., I was looking for something to replace a great boot camp I had gone to in the past to get in shape for my wedding. No gyms in the area seemed to have what I was looking for, or they were way too expensive. I am someone who finds it hard to get motivated to work out regularly, and even if I do manage to drag myself onto the treadmill, I don’t push myself as hard as I should. As for strength training, forget it-- I was way too clueless and intimidated to get into an effective routine on my own.Enter Mickey and No Pink Dumbbells. This is the first time I have ever looked forward to working out. I am seeing great results, but I like that the emphasis is on being able to do more during the workouts and feeling healthier and stronger, not on losing weight. The other people there are all shapes and sizes with varying fitness levels, and although I feel a healthy competition because I’m a competitive person, Mickey reminds us to compete only with ourselves and to challenge ourselves. I really like that. The group atmosphere is friendly and supportive, but folks are there to work up a good sweat. It’s a perfect balance.The workouts are intense, which I love because I always leave feeling accomplished, but they are easily tailored to individual needs.Honestly, this is the first time I have ever stuck with a workout routine so consistently. So glad I found No Pink Dumbbells.
