    Start off easy and slow, especially if you have not been working out a lot for a while and are not in great shape. It is really easy to injure yourself if you go at it too hard at the beginning and forget to build up slowly. Be patient and focus on the longterm goals.

    The biggest mistake people make at gyms is to sign up for long term memberships. Physical fitness gyms close their doors with monotonous regularity. When they shut their doors just try and get a refund on your dues! (good luck with that)
    Your best bet is to pay your dues on a monthly basis even though it's a tad more expensive than say a 6 month or an annual membership.

    Be really honest with yourself about your goals and how you like to work. If you like a team situation then find a gym that does classes (circuit, BootCamp, running) that make you feel like you belong. Don't expect huge results quickly - it takes time and you'll be sore the day after a workout. If you expect too much you'll be more likely to drop out. Those guys at the gym who are ripped and hauling big weights around, well they've been doing it for years and they watch their diet. Sometimes it's just too much hard work and it's better to settle for all round fitness and strength and being able to be relaxed about what you eat. So consider which you want to be.
    And build relationships with the gym staff, they're your secret weapon when it comes to ensuring good technique and injury prevention.

    Left dp and went to facebook and thought this might be appropriate

    Hmmm, when I edit the image is there, when I view it isn't.

    Nothing special for the gym, your workout won't consume enough calories to require a post workout feed - no matter what the gym bunnies say. Read Grain Brain and Wheat Belly - it's what I do and I can't believe the power and speed improvements I've made since making the change. Went for a run today, not fast by most people's standards but great for me - 22k with no gels, shakes etc.

    Most of the people who enter in the gym for the first time they think: lift weights and seeing in mirror :) But what will be the results after that? Undefined body! So before you start going to the gym, first you must know what kind of a body you want, athlete or fit.

    Technique/form of the exercise and diet I would say. Also, depending on your goals, you will train differently.

    I agree with you. People usually never pay attention on diet. The diet is one of the most important things when you start with training. But, not only the diet... It is very important how much you are sleeping, how much water did you drink during the day and what kind of a program you are using.

    Actually, I don't go to the gym. I'd love street workout! Did you ever try that? :)

    About my diet... From this year I start to change my way of live. The first thing I do in the morning... I drink a lot of water on empty stomach, then I have my breakfast (drink tea with honey). The pause I do between meals is 7 hours. Before I go to training I prefer coffee and honey also.

    In fact I don't have a special diet, just try to feed organic.

    Biggest mistake is not going in there and focusing on lifting weights and instead texting on your phone or chatting with everybody else.
    Shut up and lift.

    The first thing you should keep in mind is that you are here only to be healthy life.. In start you should do workout in gym on regular basis usually people join gym and then do workout for 2,3 days and then take a holiday. Remember this is a big mistake. In this way you will feel soo much pain.. After starting gym you must come here and work at least 20 days regularly. One more mistake people can do that they think that to become a body builder is not difficult and they will have attractive body in no time and then after some days of hard work they do not get their desired goals in few days they go for medecins and other harmful things.... This is also wrong. U should keep patience and do small but continuous work and you will see good results in future...
