SAME! What gym do you go to? Planet Fitness offers free personal training if you have the black card I think. YouTube and Pinterest are my best friends! If I don’t know how to use a machine, I’ll quick youtube the machine and it shows me exactly how to do it.

The people at gyms are generally really nice! Just ask someone who works there to give you some guidance! I know planet fitness had classes that showed you the machinery and it is really helpful! So check to see if your gym does!

Its $5 a month but I have the Fit by Katy app. I have followed her for years and trust all her business endeavors. The app offers a “workout generator” where you first choose whether you’re working out at home or at the gym, choose one then choose what body part you want to work out, and then it gives you a set of exercises to do. Each exercise lists the equipment you need (which machine, mat, dumbbell, resistance bands etc) has a quick description of how to properly do the exercise and a small video showing her doing it properly that you can mimic/follow. If you don’t like the exercises, simply give your phone a shake and it will give you a new list of workouts for that body area. It has helped soooo much in the gym! Definitely worth it IMO.
