Years at the Gym, Zero Progress? Meet the Stubborn Squad

Every gym has its lone wolves: form figured out by instinct, weight chosen by mood, a year or two in, they step up to the mirror and meet the same familiar face. Hiring a trainer? Heads shake like metronomes — "too pricey," "watched tutorials," "I got this."
