The Struggle is Real: Gym Anxiety Edition

This was a great post! I am one of the girls in the free weight area, and it can be SUPER intimidating. I look around and I am occasionally the ONLY girl in the area and if there are any others, they are always smaller/tighter/fitter than me.I love lifting weights and was lucky enough to join a small club that got me interested where it was mostly a girl only environment. Look into a trainer and try out the weights, it is such a day to day personal challenge I find it easier to focus just on me and very rewarding! Also: That guy sucks.

Thank you! I am totally en route to get a trainer in the next month or so, expressly for the weight aspect. I think I'll like it, I'm just terrified of hurting myself. So for now, machines. I feel less likely to injure myself. Less. Also, GOOD FOR YOU! Ladies like you inspire ladies like me :)
