Holy crap it's so intimidatingly dudebro!

Place was packed with muscular dudes and the machines are all so close together, it was a challenge just not getting hit by one of those many metal handles.

No disrespect, but no one there is even worried about you. Just do your sets and move on to the next machine. No intimidation.

And don't worry about feeling you puting up a small amount of weight and people are judging. No one cares. Just go lift/ run/ whatever.

I meant that in the nicest way lol

Pretty much this. I personally go super late thanks to my work schedule so I pretty much get the place to myself so its a non issue. I honestly have met more annoying women than bros in the gym tho.

I definitely need a personal trainer. It's been 10 years since I worked out and I just really need someone with me at the beginning when I'm building a muscle base.

The machines just look so complicated with all those doodads and some don't even have one of those tiny demonstration pictures. Thank goodness for free weights. I just want to know I'm doing the exercise correctly.

Also I don't mean intimidating in the sense that they're going to beat me up like the bullies from karate kid, but more like I don't know what I'm doing at the machines and everyone else is confidently pumping away, and I really don't want to seem like I'm hogging a machine willy nilly.

Did a trainer tell you that? As a noob you could go take a shit on the wall and see results. Wait a few months till you hit a platueau

Either stand back and watch someone else use a machine to see how it works, or ask a person who just finished with a machine if you have questions. More people will probably be flattered that youre seeking their advice then upset for being bother, TBH.

Ask anyone f you are not sure, everyone is always willing to help.
gym people are ultra open about helping newbs, I was in your shows a couple of years back but you get into the mix pretty fast once you learn how the machiens work.

Thats different. Having gyms only men can attend is segregation isnt it? (Im assuming TC lives in a Western country.)

In my many years of weight-lifting, I've never had anyone give me shit for how I'm lifting or how much I'm lifting. I have had people come up to me and politely give me advice on my form, and I've had people give me positive encouragement just for being there and working out.

And if anyone does give me shit for being skinny and not being able to lift very much, I have an answer prepared for that...."that's why I'm here!"


I like how there's a sort of mutual respect among the members at most gyms. Everyone knows you're there to improve yourself so nobody really gives you shit for anything and is generally friendly and helpful. The few people that do are generally just shitty people to begin with.

Theres a gay gym in my state thats men only. Its a half gym, half spa, and a pool. They also do free on the spot std testing. Its called Flex Spas. Idk if I can link it because under spa essentials it shows dildos, lube, a cock ring, and an anal douche. I came across it when I was trying to find a gym.

Thats more like what men only gym suppose to be tbh

Its worth getting a trainer if you havent lifted in 10 years. They can help you get going again and make sure you do everything correctly.
