‘Gymtimidation’ is Real: Workout and Confidence Hacks for the Anxious Gym Goer | Ep114


Listen Later

Just the thought of going to the gym is enough to make 47% of people anxious! 

😱 Being judged for how they look or embarrassing themselves are the biggest fears. 

And it’s thought that women suffer the highest levels of ‘gymtimidation’. 

🤓 If there’s one person who knows how to overcome anxiety in the gym, it’s Rachel Henley. 

So, Stacey and Jaymie invited her to join them for this week's episode of the Body Smart Podcast. 

Rachel suffered debilitating panic attacks and phobias as a child. 🥹

And joining a gym in her teens helped her control her anxieties and improve her mental health. 

In this episode, she explains how to build confidence in the gym and lift weights without feeling clueless. 

We talk about: 

💥 The one thing you need to make the gym less scary
💯 A perfect home-to-gym routine to make you feel like a pro
❌ Common mistakes to avoid when you start strength training
💝 How working out improves your mental health and well-being
🏋️ A breakdown of exercises to create your ideal workout plan

🤭😅 And Rachel and Stacey tell the story of when they bumped into each other at the gym - in their pajamas! 

⚡Maybe the most surprising thing you’ll learn from this conversation is, even coaches get ‘gymtimidation’.

It’s hard to believe the super-smart and funny Rachel still gets anxious! 

And Stacey and Jaymie talk about their own recent bouts of self-consciousness. 

So, if you’ve been hiding in the cardio area of the gym or too scared to go at all, DM or comment ‘EP114’ to hear for yourself that you’re not alone.🎙️
