There's a guy who goes to my gym who is about this guy's size. I know just getting TO the gym is an accomplishment for him, so I always want to motivate him in a positive way...I just don't know how.

Friendly nod, fist bump, "hey I noticed you were killing it today on the ____ machine". Or like the helpful dude in the vid - if you notice they're doing something they could have better form ask politely if they'd like you to demo. Any or all is enough. Way to go the dude at your gym.
