Does going the gym make you gain weight?

Question

hey im just wondering ive been going the gym for a month or two now and at the start of it i was 12 stone 6, but since ive been going im now 13 stone 4 so ive put on half a stone, is this muscle and is it normal to gain so much weight from going to the gym?

before i went the gym i was always 12 stone 6 and never gained or lost so im just worried.

Answer 1

What it probably is, is you have gained muscle and lost fat which makes u look slimmer but gain weight. x

Answer 2

Like many here have said, you have likely gained muscle. This is not a bad thing. Muscle is heavier by volume than fat.  

Answer 3

You could be gaining muscle, and shedding fat.

Muscle weighs more than fat so...

Maybe you should be monitoring your body fat instead of weight.

Answer 4

where the h**l are you from?  stone?  and no going to the gym doesn't make you gain weight unless it's muscle weight.

Answer 5

Quite the opposite.
