Had this fear too so I went with someone my first time. grown ass men were YELLING while doing reps so I realized if they can hoot and holler like they’re dying and no one cares then I’m sure me existing in my little corner is fine. I promise you no one at the gym cares and if they do judge you they’re the odd one out and NOBODY likes them. If you’re unsure about how to use a machine you can always YouTube it also to avoid looking extra confused

Regardless of the stares you might get you’re in there for yourself. The value of showing up for yourself outweights the snide remarks of some overweight middle aged ex husband dickwad.

I passed out in the middle of the gym from flexing in a mirror too hard so unless you can beat that you shouldn’t have to worry about embarrassing yourself
