LVFT Collective

> What is this place? • At LVFT Collective we are focused on individual growth and being part of a community that shares the ideologies and expertise we've accumulated thru weeks / months / years of fitness / nutrition / sports experience.

• This is a social experiment to see what works best for YOU birthed by pure boredom and a need to create a friendly and safe space to discuss our fitness journeys

> Why "LVFT"? • LVFT is about living (LV) for overall fitness (FT). It's about demonstrating that life is what you make of it whether that be flexing to be better at school, work, gym, relationships, etc. We're a collective hivemind striving to become better together.

> Why stay? • The server is smol and experimental but this is a good place for a fresh start. We're looking for more like-minded people whose input is valued as we are actively seeking leaders and collaborators to make this server fix everything that's "broken" in other servers.

> What makes us different? • We game-ify your activity on the server by establishing a growing (and ever changing) economy bot based on elementary fitness knowledge to keep you informed and reminded of some helpful tips in and out of the gym. Secret channels are unlocked with your activity levels on the server

> Why should I get verified? • Getting verified on this server allows open interaction and viewing of all channels, threads, games, information, etc. that is otherwise kept hidden from anyone else who joins. By default, everyone will be able to interact only with the basic channels for casual browsing to ensure the quality of the server maintains.

Effective during this month and moving forward, we will be creating more resources and help for members who are struggling beyond grinding through their next PR at the gym. The holidays and the season itself are a time where people come to terms with reflecting on the past, seasonal mental struggles, or people grapple with feeling disconnected from the feeling of "holiday cheer" among other things.

Slowly but surely we will establish more check-ins with members to ensure everyone is on the path of being better for their own sake and also making sure that although fitness is an amazing outlet for life's frustrations, it is not the end all be all of fixing problems we all go through in our everyday lives. This is about building healthy coping strategies and finding ways to get through life's trials and tribulations without the compulsive need to train or micromanage their bodies.
