Anxious About the Gym?

New to the gym? Start small, breathe deep, and focus on your growth — confidence builds with action.

Feeling nervous about going to the gym is completely normal — especially when you’re starting something new. With time and the right mindset, confidence grows.

Tips to ease gym anxiety:

  • Remind yourself everyone was a beginner once

  • Set small, manageable goals and build gradually

  • Go during quieter hours to feel more comfortable

  • Bring a friend for support or try a beginner-friendly class

  • Focus on your own progress, not comparisons


Mindset matters too. Try reframing negative thoughts and practise deep breathing. The more you show up, the more at home you’ll feel.
