The idea of walking onto a gym floor where everyone seems to already be in super duper shape with buffed chests, anaconda sized arms and toned model bodies can definitely send a gym newbie headed for the exit.
You’re probably thinking what many fitness professionals have heard time again from prospective clients and gym newbies: ‘I need to get in shape before I go to the gym’. Only thing is that It doesn’t work like that.
Here’s a few tips to help you:
1. Hire a Personal Trainer at the gym. He or she will be able to show you how to use the gym equipment. They can also familiarize you with your body’s basic anatomy and show different ways you can exercise to achieve the results you’re looking for.
2. Take a Group Fitness Class. They can be an excellent way to introduce yourself into the gym atmosphere and you get the added bonus of having an instructor lead by example.
3. Take the Pressure Off Yourself. Most people at the gym are too focused on what they are doing to really pay attention to you. Without prematurely projecting your mindset onto others, if by chance the gym has a snooty environment, then find another gym. You have options.

4. Look for Workout Options outside the Gym. Ok, so this here is taking you in a different direction but there’s more than one way to get in shape other than going to the gym. Join an obstacle course event like Spartan Race, Tough Mudder or others. Then there’s the fun and supportive experience of hint-hint, working out at a Boot Camp like the one held at GS Fitness Boot Camp. And the workouts can accommodate all fitness levels.
