u could probably find a space in ur schools gym where u can put down a mat and follow along with ur workout videos if u want to do that! my personal way of getting over gym nerves is avoiding eye contact with literally everyone lol, unless i need to say “excuse me” or something i stay in my own bubble

I was really worried about this when I first started lifting but I just started by going at times when there’s very little people (ex: late at night or early morning) and then kind of just basically do it scared and eventually you get over it. When I’m at the gym I’m too focused on myself to worry about others

if gym doesn’t workout, i’ll just workout in my room. my ideal situation would be to use gym for cardio and then go somewhere private to do youtube pilates videos.

I was the same way until I went to planet fitness. And now I’m doing at home Pilates on YouTube. I watch Eva’s Pilates
