I’m nowhere near fit-looking. I work out at a gym regularly and have taken all kinds of fitness classes before, including CrossFit, Orange Theory, kickboxing, boot camps, yoga, Pilates and more. I was often the biggest and/or slowest person in the classes. I promise that no one is paying attention to you in the classes- everyone is focusing on their own workout and on themselves.
Many fitness classes will have scaled options for people who are not as advanced. I often chose those options and it was fine.
Thanks!

Everyone starts out feeling this way but honestly no one gives a crud about you - they’re all just focused on themselves. Would you be looking around judging people! Doubt it - I bet you’d probably admire people for pushing themselves and working hard. That’s how others view it.
If you don’t change your habits and start, you’ll regret it. Your biggest hurdle will always be your own perception
You should definitely look into ClassPass! Helped me get back into the rhythm of working out after not working out at all during Covid

First of all, don’t feel nervous or intimidated! The workout crowd is very open and appreciated people starting :).
If you don’t feel it at all:
- Start working out from home, there are great videos to follow on YouTube.
- Try calisthenics, the book “you are your own gym” even gives you a decent full body program.

Look into apple fitness plus. They have amazing workout videos ranging in equipment from nothing at all to a couple of dumbbells to treadmills/rowers etc. They have something for everyone and the workouts make you SWEAT 😂 they also have modifications that they walk through if you can’t quite go full force yet. Highly recommend!!
