Overcoming Fear and Judgment at the Gym: Tips for Beginners

In this episode, I address the common fears of judgment and injury that many people experience when starting at the gym. I offer practical advice, such as hiring a trainer to ensure proper technique and boost confidence. I also emphasize that everyone at the gym, even seasoned athletes, were once beginners and that it's important to focus on your own progress rather than worrying about others' opinions. Additionally, I discuss alternatives like training at home to build confidence before heading to a public gym. Finally, I share personal experiences to illustrate that trainers may approach you out of genuine interest or to offer help, not necessarily to critique negatively.
