I feel like I'm gonna a whale jumping out of water when I walk in. Like I dont care about people's opinion of me I just dont want to embarass myself like not knowing how to use some gym equipment or failing to lift something heavy.
I'm sure you can ask the people working there how everything works. In fact, that's what they're there for. To help you.
I have not been to a gym in years, I have a home gym and personal trainer now but I remember going and never paying attention to anyone. The trainer is actually a PT so after workouts I get H-Wave treatments on my shoulders with heat or a Astym treatment.
I feel like that's something you'd (not specifically you, everyone ) worry about when in reality no one else would even notice or care. I think almost everyone's just focusing on themselves & not bothered about how anyone else looks.
OP you're AWFUL for posting a picture of me in this board without my permission.
On the real though, I have this same fear, although I've heard that other people in the gym either don't care or are nice and will even give you tips. I plan on going next year, but I don't have a gym buddy.
