I believe the genre that will help make my argument on my DC will be a speech. A speech is an opportunity to express ideas and emotions. This will allow me to express the important issue that affects many in my gym DC. Also I believe a speech would be able to reach more people and I would want this issue to be talked about and discussed.

I would like to begin my speech by explaining the importance of gyms and what they can do for your health. After explaining their importance, I will explain how many people don’t want to join a gym because they simply don’t feel comfortable. I want to explain what causes a person to not be comfortable in working out in a public area. I will give an example of my best friend. When i wanted to start going to the gym, I didn’t want to go alone. ( I would also explain in my speech that I was uncomfortable with going to the gym by myself in the beginning) I reached out to my best friend and asked if she wanted to start going to the gym with me. She told me she did want to start a healthier lifestyle but she did not want to go to the gym because she felt she would get judged.

  • Talk about mental illnesses that might affect motivation to go to the gym.
  • Many gyms have a “no judgement” rule in place. For example planet fitness has “no judgement zone.”
