Morgan Wade is not shy about writing raunchy lyrics or being completely honest. In posting this online, she aimed for something heavier than a gym flex: She professed her love for a no-frills, old school kind of gym where the magic happens not just with weights but also with the people-and man, were the responses awesome.

In the post, Wade recalled her first time stepping into @joinarealgym, all wired and full of doubts. “Just a female rolling into a gym with a bunch of dudes at 4am,” she wrote, but instead of intimidation, Wade felt an overwhelming sense of belonging-community without headphones no music blaring no jokes-and few encouragements. Such a kind of place where one feels better after going out than going in and aren’t the rest meaning for it?
This is all provided through an image included in the post. Wade stands boldly donning a sleeveless “Old School” shirt, with her tattoo in full display, and a crap-wanted-backward cap as to show that she meant business. The gym equipment hell-bent on antagonizing her view with all no-nonsense attitude: This is not your all-sleek corporate fitness brand; this is the real deal.
Fans and followers traveled by the thousands to flood the comments with support, yet some of them made themselves stand out. One user confessed, “I’m terrified of going to the gym but hey i think you just gave me confidence.” Wade said in response, “I still get nervous too… no one is watching me-just in my head.” A reminder that no matter how jacked somebody is, the battle with self-doubt continues anew.
Then came the question from a fan: “Does the high of a good workout equal the high of drinking?” Wade never answered, but damn, what an all-time question. Another said, jokingly, that her arms are so strong that they cause her “knees start to look like baby doll heads,” which is bizarrely true.
But the best part was when a Brazilian fan left the comment: “Congratulations on your determination,” proving that Wade’s message transcends language. Let’s not forget the one who was actually shook that Wade knew of Pataskala, Ohio. Priorities, people.
In turn, Wade pressed everybody to go find that gym for themselves. Whether it’s a coffee shop, a person, or a little town, go after that feeling. Because weight lifting is the least of it—lifting each other is.
So, yes, Morgan Wade turned a gym post into a life lesson. If that doesn’t have you lacing up your sneakers and looking for your tribe, what will?
