Just know, when it feels like people are looking at you, they might be but it's because they don't know what they're doing and watching how it's done

you'll be okay. it gets easier the more you go. one day you'll wake up and realize it's not scary anymore

it’s gonna be okay! put on some music and have a good time. starting the gym is great because you get to learn what exercises you enjoy, and there’s so much to try that you don’t have to worry about things being mundane

Focus on learning proper technique first, before you start lifting heavy. Also remember many people who chose planet fitness are new to it, so you’re not alone.

it’s all about moving your body, not about how heavy you lift or how stupid you think you look (you don’t). everyone’s there for the same reason and nobody’s judging you :)
