If you're like me and you've always wanted to try gymming but you're intimidated by the gym bros/ equipment and all the things you don't know. Here's a rundown of all you need to know before you sign up for a gym membership & how to build your confidence 🫶🏻 cause this year we are all about growth & overcoming our fears 😌✊🏻

For us ladies, it may seem more scary to go go to the gym alone but fret not — i've created this starter guide to help you start this journey 🫶🏻

Before you choose a gym, consider the following:

1. Which factors are important to you?

• convenience — to your work/ home

• opening hours — what time do you prefer to exercise?

• condition of equipment — do you prefer brand new equipment/ branded/ well-maintained equipment?

• how often do you think you can realistically go to the gym per week? — this determines if you should get a gym membership

• are there discounts available for the gym? — corporate/ student/ gym promotions

2. Do you have a gym buddy?

• check w your colleagues which gym they go to and if you can tag along for a trial (usually gyms offer a 1 day trial)

• gym buddies are so important because you can keep each other accountable & learn how to use the equipment tgt/ check on each others form

3. Find out what you don't know about gymming

• what are the names of the equipment?

• which equipment can be used for exercises that targets the body part you wna work on?
