How do I get rid of gym anxiety?

Question

I’ve been starting to workout at the gym almost everyday, like anyone I have my good days and bad days. My bad days are mostly caused when my anxiety goes through the roof because I’m constantly trying so hard but I continue to doubt myself or compare myself to the other girls. I’m proud of myself for even starting this journey and I’ve already been seeing a little bit of progress in only two weeks but I just feel like I’m being so hard on myself. Does anyone else go through this?!

Answer

Put on some of your favorite music and close your eyes, don’t let them intimidate you. If you can’t see then they can’t bother you right? When I go, I tune everyone else out and just focus on my breathing, my contracting muscles (when I lift) and my music.
The gym is a place for all kinds of people, each of them in a different place during that long journey to “the perfect body”. You’re on your journey too, it doesn’t matter how far you have to go to look like someone else, it’s the fact that you are there! You’re trying to better yourself just like they are. 
I found that sometimes if I talk to those women and ask them advice, usually it helps me feel better. If you’re too shy then just take a deep breath when you’re feeling that way, go to the bathroom and think about your goals. What do you want to achieve by being there? Then hype yourself up and go back out there to do what you came to do 💕 I like to keep my promise feeds pictures as a background on my phone, so I can see how far I’ve come and it just motivates me to keep going. 😘 hope this helps!

Yep. The more you go and the more you   become confident it’ll be easier :)

What?! That’s only two weeks?! That’s huge progress. I can see it. You’re doing awesome!
I can totally relate to your anxiety. For me, it’s not just anxiety about doubting myself, but it’s anxiety because I worry about what others think of me at the gym. I’m afraid they’re staring at me and thinking “oh she is so weak! She looks dumb. She clearly doesn’t know what she’s doing.” Things like that.
I’ve avoided the gym all my life basically, but it wasn’t until now that I realized how important it is to take care of myself and exercise. I just signed up for a personal trainer and have only had one session so far. I meet with her twice a week, but plan to go myself at least two or three other days. I still have anxiety about me going myself without the trainer.
