Learning to Use Gym Machines Without Feeling Intimidated

Ngl one of the most awkward things about starting at the gym was not knowing how half the machines worked 😭 i'd sometimes walk past equipment because I was scared of looking clueless or setting it up wrong eventually I started asking for help and taking time to understand how everything worked instead of pretending I knew what I was doing and guess wt once I got comfortable with the basics the whole gym experience became way less intimidating so yea everyone starts somewhere and there's nothing wrong with asking questions. Which machine confused you the most when you first started? 💪

Bro the cable machine looked like some complicated engineering project when I first saw it 💀

I literally watched someone use the leg press for 10 minutes before trying it myself 😭

Asking the trainer for help was the best decision I made they literally showed me everything in like 2 mins

Ngl I still avoid certain machines because I dont know how to adjust them properly

Girl I used to pretend I was checking my phone just to avoid using unfamiliar equipment 😂

The Smith machine confused me so much at first now it's one of my favourite pieces of equipment

Anyone else feel awkward asking someone to show them how a machine works?

Honestly most people are too focused on their own workouts to judge you
