Ngl walking into the gym for the first time was way more intimidating than I expected 😭 I used to feel like everyone was watching me or judging how I performed each exercise but after going consistently for a while I realised most people are just focused on their own workouts I hv been trying to stick to a simple routine and get comfortable with the equipment instead of worrying about what others thin tbh everyone starts somewhere and the gym feels a lot less scary once you get into the habit.

Everyone is too busy staring at themselves in the mirror to notice what you’re doing 😂

used to avoid certain machines because I didn’t know how to use them asking someone for help made it so much easier
