Gym rat here, you will definitely be self conscious in the very beginning, but I guarantee you nobody is going to judge. People tend to “glance” in directions, but they mind their business. Some may even give you a tip. The way I think of it is, who am I to judge when I’m imperfect myself? You don’t know what other people are going through, and you will be infinitely better compared to the person who doesn’t even show up to the gym.
