Kayla Itsines Instagram – New year, new goals… LOTS of new faces in the gym!
As a personal trainer, I understand that starting a fitness journey can feel overwhelming, especially having to step into a new gym, full of people who seem to “know what they’re doing.”
Trust me, you’re not alone.
This is the advice I would give to my clients to help them manage their gym anxiety
✨ Go in with a plan! Knowing what exercises to do (even just a simple workout routine) can give you confidence and help you stay focused.
✨ Book a personal training session (you usually get one free when you join a new gym). Trainers are there to help you. Don’t hesitate to ask questions and use your free session to get familiar with all of the equipment.
✨ Remember, everyone starts somewhere: No one is judging you! Most gym-goers are too focused on their own workouts to notice what anyone else is doing.
✨ Start SMALL. If it’s overwhelming, just use the treadmill for the first week. While you’re on the treadmill, watch the equipment and how it’s being used.
✨Remember… showing up is an achievement in itself! Focus on your progress and give yourself grace as you learn and grow. | Posted on 18/Jan/2025 13:16:03
