However, pumping iron isn’t just about building muscles; it’s also a test of patience when you have to wait for a dumbbell hoarder to finish their set before you can use the weight you need or when you hit the showers only to discover there’s no hot water. As the subreddit ‘Mildly Infuriating’ shows, there are plenty of moments that can make gym-goers rethink their memberships. A 2019 study conducted by OnePoll in conjunction with Isopure examined the fitness habits and trends of 2,000 Americans and found that 37 percent of those who have never worked out think they are too unhealthy to even start exercising. But when it comes to the intimidation factor (or the so-called “gymtimidation”), as many as 50 percent feel the idea of working out among other people in a gym environment is a daunting prospect. Furthermore, 48 percent of Americans feel intimidated by the number of fitness workouts and classes out there. Another 17 percent experience intimidation when exercising in front of the opposite sex, while a further 15 percent experience intimidation during their actual exercise routine. A study by Fitrated.com found that 32 percent of men and 23 percent of women say the biggest boost to their confidence is basic equipment knowledge. An additional 30 percent of men and 22 percent of women reported it was music — building a playlist that motivates and inspires you is one of the easiest ways to beat the dread of going to the gym. “It’s like renting a car and having to learn where every button is all at once — it’s overwhelming,” said Pam Moore, a personal trainer in Boulder, Colorado. “The same thing applies to the gym. Come up with one small marker for success, like mastering one machine or move.” But before you even begin the trial period or pay a visit, carefully read reviews of local establishments. This can help you learn which gyms roll out the welcome mat to new members and which might be less tolerable. Maybe they’re not so infuriating after all! Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
