I am trying to work up the courage

To go to a class at the gym by myself today.  My BFF worked an overnight shift, and can not make it to the class.  I really want to go but I am nervous. 

Re: I am trying to work up the courage

  • Don't be nervous at all! I read your earlier post about going to a bunch of classes already. It will be the same thing! I hate going to classes myself, but the few times I've done it, it's been fine!
  • I HATE going to the gym. I get all panic attacky. Its bad. I hope you can work up the courage to go, but I can't blame you if you don't.

  • Thanks guys.  The class is at 12:10 so I have a while to worry about it.  Ha ha ha. 
  • What kind of class?

  • I hate going to stuff like that alone..but I have several times in the past and it was totally fine, maybe you'll meet someone new in the process, I say go for it!
  • You can do it!  It sounds like you really enjoy the classes so don't deprive yourself.  The first time is the hardest, but you can get over the hump!
    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • I know what you mean - I have wanted to try some of the classes at my gym, but I'm so self-conscious about going by myself.  I think you should try to go!

     

    What gym do you belong to?  I go Best Fitness by Kohls.

    Me too!  Ha ha ha.  So I just went to the class, and it went well.  It was a Zumba class with a different instructor than the class I went to with my BFF.  There was another girl there taking the class for the first time, and so we stayed in the back.  I am really happy I went.  What classes are you interested in going to?  This weekend I did "Will Power and Grace" which was an awesome workout and not super crowded, and Yoga on Sunday.  It was so crowded, but it was a good class...90 minutes long.  I am going to go to the Zumba class this Friday at 8:30.  We should meet up for a class sometime!  

  • Best Fitness by Kohls is where I had a mini panic attack in the parking lot. That place is always so packed it's completely overwhelming.

  • I  hate going to the gym too.  I'd rather work out on my own in my house...or around the neighborhood with my dog and/or H.   
  • Yay for you for going to the class!

  • I'm glad you went and had a good time!

     

    We should totally meet up for a class some time!   Really any class that's a good overall workout...I tend to do better in a class than I do just going to the gym by myself and trying to get in a workout.

    J - it is always so busy, it's definitely overwhelming.  I went at like 11am on a Monday once (over my winter break) and it was PACKED.  I couldn't believe it.

    When do you normally go to workout?  During the week I tend to go morning/early afternoon because I don't get home from work until 6:30.  During the weekend I tend to go whenever I can fit it in.  The classes on the weekends are all morning classes.  I am going to make every effort to go to the "Will Power and Grace" class this Saturday.  My body was sooooo sore from that class so I know it is a good workout! 

  • at this point I'm trying just to go more than once before I don't go for 2 more weeks!  my work schedule can be a little unpredictable right now.  when I do go, I tend to go at the worst time - sometime between 5 and 6pm.  I go on my way home from work (even though I live so close) because if I go home first, I likely won't go back out.

    On the weekends, when I go, it tends to be mid-late morning.  I can't go this Saturday, but that class sounds good!  Maybe I'll join you one time soon :)

    Perhaps you missed the part where I had a mini panic attack hahaha. That was during a three month trial over three years ago. I never went back.
