Overcoming Gym Anxiety

There are many gyms across the UK that are scary places. Lots of grunting, loud music, general clanging and banging, as well as chalk and sweat on the floor and not to mention the ‘barely there’ gym gear. On top of all this, when you gaze around it looks as if you are surrounded by the fittest people in the world. This can be a daunting prospect, especially if it’s your first day at the gym.

This insecure feeling and fear of being judged is all too common for people starting out at the gym. Gym anxiety is a real feeling that many people experience, if left unaddressed it can affect your attendance, enjoyment, confidence and importantly, your ability to work on your own health and wellbeing. To be quite honest with you when you strip all of this gym bravado back, very often you are left with not much more than a small warehouse with a few pieces of equipment in it. The good news is that gym anxiety can be overcome, and with time your stress and anxieties about entering these spaces will fade, allowing you to fulfil your potential.
