Went to the gym for the first time ever yesterday, I was so nervous and there was so many people but I put my airpods in, worked out and enjoyed myself a lot! It’s not as nerve racking as you think it may be once you start working out! the hardest part is getting yourself to do it!

Another tip for any newbies who are unsure of how to use equipment and don’t want to ask/don’t have anyone to ask. YOUTUBE!
I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve sat on a machine and opened YouTube found an instructional video thats taught me how to use it!

I have so much anxiety just thinking about going to a gym, I’m a big girl and so self conscious

[layna]

This video really comforted me. I feel like what makes my anxiety peak at the gym is the fact that im a teen girl and look way younger than my actual age so its scary to walk in those areas where theres a bunch of older buff guys out of fear to be judged

[addisonjune]

love this. youre so sweet! i wish i had a friend like you who could help me get comfortable with the weights in the gym :(

I watched this video this morning and just wanted to come back to say that I went to the gym for the first time in years this afternoon after watching your video and I really enjoyed it. I did 45 mins which went by so quickly and I enjoyed myself way more than I would have done just sitting on the sofa. I can see this becoming something I do more regularly :) Thanks for your video, it was really helpful.

For my first time in the gym, I actually found it really helpful to have a tour with a trainer who explained some of the machines to me. That helped a lot with my confidence because I already knew how some of them work.

Now I try to use some more machines (I don't know yet). When I don't find out how to use them by myself I either use Youtube tutorials or ask random people in the gym who already seem to know how to use it. Most of them are really friendly and are open to explain it to newbis since everyone started at some point. 😊

This is awesome!! I’m an avid gym go-er and this is how I think during my workouts!! you literally thought of everything. such great information for a newbie!

[ryanutley]

Hi Brittany! I just recently started going to the gym, I had been working out from home but couldn’t find the courage to go to a local gym until I saw this vid. Definitely made me feel comfortable and confident enough to finally get up and join. Thank you a lot!!😊

[AlliePiccalo]

Definetly easier to ease into the gym w a friend. Going w maybe 1-2 people for a couple weeks n eventually going alone is a lot easier because you’ve created an idea of what ur workout will look like

[Nina-pfrx]

I went for the first time today! It was great

[BrittanyLupton]

bringing it back to the basics with this video! i hope this was helpful!

[mntk]

Thanks so much for your encouragement! I'm glad I discovered your video before going to the gym very first time in the next 10 mins x

This is actually very helpful even for someone like me who is going to be at a very, VERY small gym. I'm talking, a handful of macines, since our villiage is quite small, but that might honestly make it perfect for me with my anxiety. And I've already talked to one of the workers there about general overview of the gym, getting to see the layout, as well as upgrades that are coming (new machines and a shake bar!) and a little bit of the culture there, they have a whiteboard to introduce yourself, or, if you're comfortable, putting down your goals/weigh ins.
Tonight will be my first time as well, which I plan on asking about machines mostly, as well as making sure I at least have a short workout planned! I'm just excited to actually get out for movement, as much as I was an avid believer in home workouts; with a lack of space and sometimes that extra lack of motivation since I feel like at home you can easily say "oh, I'll workout in 10 minutes".... then hours go by and nothing was done.... :P

But even for someone like me with a ton of anxiety and self conciousness, it's important to remember, others are going to the gym for much the same reasons you are. Even if others have much more confidence or no anxiety whatsoever, it's not like someone is going to a gym to literally just stare at new or awkward people and point and laugh. They have their own zone to be in, their own goals to work on. The gym is a place of self improvement.

Here are my tips as a new person. I went to the gym for 3 days already, tomorrow will be my 4th. As a newbie, I'd say it isn't as BAD as I thought. The staff are friendly and people aren't rude. Most people are going to be wearing their headphones and focusing on their workout, so don't overthink or worry too much. If people happen to stare, which I think was happening to my sister and I since we are new, just don't look or focus at them and just pay attention to yourself only. Noise-cancelling headphones are a must have if you really want to lock in, they help me focus so much and block a lot of noise. I have the sony xm4 headphones and they work amazing. As I mentioned, I am a NEWBIE, I have no knowledge whatsoever on how to use anything. I recommend asking a trainer there to help or bring someone you know that already goes there or knows what they're doing to help you. If you are too scared or can't find any, go search up the workouts on Youtube!! I was lucky to have some friends who already work out make me a beginner friendly workout for me and I just searched up on Youtube how to do it. I was also heavily overthinking and anxious before I signed up, but days have passed and I'm feeling a lot better, I'm still a little nervous but I'm better than I was day 1. Bring someone with you as well if you're nervous like me (I go with my sister). At the end of the day, everyone is there to workout to better themselves and do their thing

Thank you so much for this. I have Multiple Sclerosis and have been so afraid to go back to the gym. I bought a Clever Fox Wellness Planner off Amazon and I am fortunate enough to get a YMCA membership for free due to the MS. You’d never be able to tell that I have it so your video has convinced me to just suck it up and go back to cycling (I even have a Peloton at home!) and go to the Y for aquatic therapy and strength training. Thank you for the motivation! 💙💙💙💙💙

[cretnotonic]

I need someone like you to train me or hype me up when I get to the gym.

[mareikeo.]

In my gym there's a lady's room where you can do free weights so stuff isn't as intimidating and I've only been to the gym twice but Ive been loving that room

[lovingpeepsxoxo]

I’m nervous😭I’m obese and am starting at my college’s gym. Anyone else been in my position and any tips to feel more comfortable?

[threnoidia]

What do you do when all the equipment/machines you want are taken? I feel like every time i've worked out in an open gym i've felt out of place and like I never get to do the actual workout I wanted. But I don't wanna just hover or something haha.

Also, where do you take the free weights when you move away from the rack? I lift free weights at home (dumbells and barbells) so I'm comfortable with my weights/form but feel like I just get stares at the gym.
