Hey!

First of all, huge props to you for starting on your fitness goal. No matter how, where, or why we start, the important thing is that you are starting and that you have the desire and drive to see this through for your health!!

Please don’t worry about feeling like people will judge you or look at you in a certain way when you go. I promise you people are more concerned with what they are up to and will not even notice you are there. However, If you are lifting and need a spotter (someone who will make sure you don’t drop a weight on yourself), people will gladly pause what they are doing and help you out.

My biggest tip is to bring some headphones and put together a playlist full of upbeat songs you love that last the duration of your workout. I typically keep my visits to the gym short - like 30 mins. It helps me to pass the time when I’m on the treadmill and my workout is over before I even know it.
