is there something specific about the gym that causes anxiety? outside of the gym though you can go for walks, do bodyweight exercises at home, or invest in some dumbbells and resistance bands so you can do do more at home.

I get it. I used to go during the last 2 hours the campus gym remained opened because so many go in the morning. Especially the athletes and then I feel anxious or judged. I took a lot of walks though for cardio or would run at night when no one was on campus

Social anxiety… just like people in general. But I’m medicated for it.. I’m also in a university dorm so not too much room, but I could work with it! Thank youuuu❤️

yea that’s hard, I get it. if you do want to go the gym, you could try different times of the day depending what your schedule allows. I found a few consistent times where my school gym was nearly empty
