Maybe you’ve also experienced this anxious feeling, and there’s a name for it. It’s called ‘gymtimidation.’Many struggle with this feeling because they don’t want to be watched or judged while working out. This self-consciousness can make it even harder to visit a gym.

Vinod Channa shared that, “when you go to the gym, wear separate shoes. Carry napkins or cloths to wipe the bench you work out on. Alternate with other people during rest cycles. Everyone should cooperate with each other so that they can exercise equally, finish their workout, and go home.”
