Starting something new can be overwhelming no matter what it is. A new hobby, sport, job, or even relationship can create a sense of uneasiness in everyone. When you think about it, starting a new workout routine has aspects of all those things! Exercise can be fun, therefore it can be a hobby. Exercise is obviously athletic, therefore could be classified as a sport in some cases. Exercise in some form is vital to your health and well being and should be treated with as much dedication as a new job. And exercise strengthens your relationship with your body and mind. Because of all these aspects of a workout routine, walking into the gym for the first time can be daunting!
Utilizing the resources your gym offers to establish an appropriate workout routine is vital to boosting your confidence in the gym. At Milestone, each member has resources at their disposal to enhance the gym experience. We understand that not everyone is thrilled about being here. Many members come to us at the insistence of their doctor, family, or friends. Many find their way to our doors as a last resort to improve their health when multiple diets and fad weight loss programs have let them down. With the right guidance, everyone can be successful and confident!
With nine years of experience helping new members find their way in a 70,000 square foot building of intimidation, here are my tips for finding your confidence in the gym!

Fitness professionals understand how hard it can be for a new member to take the first step and walk into a gym. Even the professionals themselves aren’t motivated or confident every day.
