facility and can assist
when you have questions
or concerns?
This also helps you
have a backup strategy
in place in case
your desired equipment
is unavailable.
You will be ready to
apply progressions,
regressions, and supplemental
exercises
to still get that lift
you’re looking for!
Another reason
to write your workouts
is that it will
make you go. The
psychology behind
writing your workout
down will drive you
to get to the gym
and complete the
workout, even if
you’re feeling intimidated.
“If you ink it,
you think it.”
Focus on you
It’s natural to think
that all eyes are on
you when working
out in a gym,
especially if you are
nervous and haven’t
established your
confidence yet. If
you focus with heavy
intent on your workout
and reaching
your goals, then you
won’t have time or
energy to focus on
those around you.
Put on those headphones
and crank
up whatever music
makes you feel
great.
Bring a friend to
the fitness party
When feeling intimated
by the gym, find
someone who can
be a fitness mentor,
or even just a buddy.
There is something
comforting about
being with a friend
in the gym, even if
they are intimidated
as well. Attacking
the gym anxiety as
a team can be very
beneficial. You can
share stories and
laughs as you fight
through it together.
If you have a friend
who is very familiar
with the gym,
they can be a great
resource for you, too.
Lean on them until
you feel confident
enough to fly on your
own.
Take a class and
M
speak to your
instructor
Y
Taking a class is
a fantastic way to CM
meet several mem-
MY
bers who just might
be in the same boat
CY
as you. Tons of
CMY
folks take classes
because it’s easy to
blend in. Be sure to
introduce yourself to
your instructor. They
will never use this to
embarrass you, but
a quick introduction
lets them know to
watch and perhaps
cue a little differently
to ensure you are
getting the maximum
benefit of the class.
Instructors are also
great at making different
suggestions
for members based
on what their goals
are.
Believe in
yourself
It’s important to
keep in mind that
everyone has started
where you are today.
No one gets to
where they want to
be overnight. If you
feel someone watching
you at the gym,
keep in mind that
they could be admiring
your hard work
and dedication. In fitness
you don’t practice
perfection, you
practice consistency.
If you keep up with
dedicated practice,
then you will soon
be the one everyone
is looking up to and
aspires to be at the
gym.
