Walking toward the gym doors with a knot in your stomach?

Already imagining everyone staring while you try to work out which machine does what?

You’re not broken, you’re normal. And this episode will give you a clear, no-drama way to get started.

In Gym Anxiety 101 we break down...

- What anxiety in the gym really is, and why most people are too busy to judge you.

- Exactly what to ignore: physiques, outfits, “perfect form” police and the influencer circus workouts.

- What to actually do the moment you walk in so you feel prepared, not lost.

- A simple 2-day starter program using basic machines so you can walk in, follow the plan, and walk out confident.

If you’ve been stuck in “I’ll start Monday” because the gym feels intimidating, this conversation will help you trade panic for a clear plan and a couple of small wins every time you show up.

And if you’d like support building this into your real life—not some fantasy schedule, we’ll show you how we do that with clients inside The Weight Loss Podcast Academy.
