Gym Sociology in Nets and Sub-nets, oo buhay nanaman ako.

The way a man behaves is mainly influenced the what is around him, this works in the society, in the classroom, at home, and of course - at the gym. Reducing theories and making them fit in this context, the factors that determine the manner in which a man behaves in the gym can be seen from two different points of view, each having their own characteristics

Extrinsic factors:

• His bodily build in relation to the build of the people around him;
  • A man has two behavioral tendencies after knowing the condition of the people around him, if he knows that most of the people in the gym during the span of his workout have physiques better than him, the tendency is for him to either be more motivated of even discouraged, both ways of responding come from man's nature of comparison since a man's behavior is partly determined by his environment, different people have different reactions, nevertheless, it is better to be motivated than to be discouraged because a man will never reach the bodily states that he sees in the gym if he won't work for it.
• His stay and frequency in the gym in relation to the stay and frequency of the people around him;
  • The behavioral tendencies of a man if he knows that the the people around him are newbies in the gym are again put under two lights, first is that a man can either be authoritative or sometimes even flashy, on the other hand, they may be welcoming, warm, and friendly to the "newbies", this comes from man's nature of status dependence, the stay of an individual in a gym gives him a sense of security and a sense of belonging particularly if he is friends with the instructor, etc. Of course, it is better for "old" members to be friendly and warm to the new members so that they'll be motivated and pursue a healthy lifestyle.
• His gender in relation to the gender of the people around him.
  • Ladies, Gentlemen, and everything in between have different manners of behaving in the gym setting, although professionalism is tried at it's best, still, others determine the way in individual behaves, guys tend to act differently if there are women in the gym, in my gym, guys aren't allowed to go topless because the receptionist is a woman, and of course, women tend to limit their movements if there are men. This is but normal, this is to build a sense of respect and professionalism in the gym setting.

Intrinsic fators:

• His motivation in bodybuilding;
  • The factor or the drive of an individual which keeps him going can strongly determine the manner which he behaves in this setting, this is through the manner in which he strives to complete a session and the manner in which he extracts satisfaction from every visit, the factor which gives him fulfillment and even more drive to go body-building.
• His knowledge in bodybuilding;
  • An individuals know-how in body building can affect his behavior by reluctance and pursuance of a particular activity, the responses of an individual to incentives gives him the sense of decision if or if not to continue an activity since incentives to come in a negative or positive note.
• The way he sees bodybuilding.
  • The main reason why a man goes to the gym is determined by himself, if an individual goes to the gym to body build, he is most likely to concentrate in activities, chat a bit, and rest, but there are people who go to the gym JUST to make friends or even just to find their next fling, etc. It is but proper to fix one's motives before going to the gym to make sure that results will be achieved and the setting will run smoothly.

The Gym is a social setting, there are may factors in it that can determine the manner which a man behaves and can, eventually, determine the environment which it does possess. Man has many behavioral tendencies, commonly, they come in dichotomies, a positive and a negative.
