Pole dancing and the gym

So I do pole dancing. I love it, it's my passion. It's made me realise how much I hate the gym. The gym feels like an unsafe space. I go with my PT every fortnight and he has given me so much confidence. How do I feel safer in the gym and is there any exercises you guys would recommend for the arm and core strength I need on the pole

Am I ancient?

Ever since I turned 30 I've really started struggling with weight gain. I have been working with a PT for a year and a half I have lost inches and gotten stronger but still struggle with how I look. Is this an age thing? People always say you get fatter as you get older

Adapting workout program for apartment fitness center

Hi! So I’ve been doing the full body workout plan and have been feeling great and making a lot of progress. To save some $$ I may need to cancel my gym membership and use my apartments fitness center that is opening soon. I’m not sure what gear exactly they will have, but going by the average fitness center (no bench press or squat rack and probably just dumbbells and barbells and some machines) would I be able to adapt a program that could be effective with limited resources compare to full gym?

Chest Sub For Full Body - Implants

Hello! I am SO excited to be a new FS Premium member, and am going to start my first ever full body program (previously upper/lower). I have brest implants and my surgon reccomended that I stay away from some specific chest exercises. Its never been a huge goal of mine, so it's never really bothered me. However, looking at your plan, I am not sure what to sub in, if anything at all? The plan is so comprehensive (good work you two), and I know the goal is to not overtask a muscle group on a daily basis. What would you two reccomend?

Transition Phase/Exit Strategy

I lost 20 lbs over 18 weeks and ended up adding 150 calories a day to take a break and have maintained my weight. Questions is do I go back to my cut calories to lose more fat because I would like to be at 25-26%% and I am at 31%. Alternatively do I work at recomp calories (which is honestly what I am eating now) and hopefully lose the fat?
