Being able to go back to the gym in this period of my fitness development was something really important and valuable to me, because it meant that I would have access to a lot more resources and information that I did not really have when I was exercising by myself. This was shown by my intent to sign up for weights training in school, and I did so knowing full well that I could learn a lot about my own fitness regimes and add potential exercises to my regime with the help of the coach and just have a bigger base of information with which to make decisions regarding the direction in which I wanted my physical conditioning to go.

It was a big change for me, because it was a hugely different environment than to the one of solitary exercising that had been experienced during the circuit breaker and post-circuit breaker period. While I was able to really improve on activities that I felt I had a strong cementing in such as running and such, being able to go back to the gym in school during these 3 months was something that was extremely necessary in order for me to be more aware of my surroundings within the gym.
