Body fat at 17% is trivia. How much muscle do you have? Everybody is so obsessed with cutting fat regardless of actual fitness level.

I guess my point is that attitude is everything. Your expertise will show through regardless of what you look like on the first glance.

My karate instructor is a 7th degree black belt and a world champion fighter with over two dozen years of experience. To most? He's just some dumpy Asian guy with a raggedy beard. One on one? He'll wow you with his charisma, knowledge, and the ability to kick a 220 pound man across a room.

We are what we do. I think you'll sell yourself in what you say and do, not necessarily how you look (although not looking like a couch commando helps).

...

I'd imagine a commercial gym will allow regular clients, predictable hours, and you'll essentially clock in and out via appointments set up by mouth, text message, or email. Such has been my experience as a guy who goes to gyms once in a while. You'll probably acquire a few devoted "regulars."
