Afraid of the Gym? Listen to This!

If the idea of walking into a gym makes you nervous, self-conscious, or completely overwhelmed, you’re definitely not alone.

Maybe you worry that everyone is watching you.

Maybe you feel like everyone else is fit and knows exactly what they’re doing.

Or maybe the biggest problem is simply this: you don’t have a clue what to actually do once you get there.

In this episode, I tackle the two biggest barriers to going to the gym: perception and practicality.

We’ll talk about why you probably aren’t being watched nearly as much as you think …

Why feeling self-conscious is a normal part of stepping outside your comfort zone …

And how to turn other people’s fitness into inspiration instead of intimidation!

Then we get practical and I give you several ways to get started if you don’t know what you’re doing.

And because not every gym is the same, I’ll also break down several different types of gyms — from basic big-box gyms and boutique gyms to CrossFit, class-based gyms, and specialized facilities — so you can start thinking about what kind of gym is actually the best fit for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to get started even if you feel intimidated and overwhelmed just at the thought of going to a gym
  • How to overcome feeling self-consciousness in the gym
  • What to do … if you have absolutely no idea what to do once you walk through the gym doors.
  • Why choosing the right gym for you can make all the difference
  • The pros and cons of different types of gyms.
  • Four practical ways to get started.
