When you start going to the gym you very quickly notice that people are not judgmental at all. I have only had positive interactions with people at the gym, if there has been an interaction to begin with. People are so busy doing their own thing and they don’t wanna be bothered so they won’t bother you either. Most people who go to the gym do so for a reason, to self improve and for a lot of people the gym is a safe space where you can let go of all anxiety. I’m a woman and I have had a few men come up to me and be genuine in their complements, not flirtatious at all. Something I think many women are a bit scared of. Being stared at by men at the gym, but honestly that really hasn’t happened to me. It has happened once or twice, but it has been outside the gym and not in the actual gym. One guy came up to me when I was at the squat rack and said “Sorry to bother you, but can I take this plate? My squat rack didn’t have this one” I said “Yeah ofc” and then he said “You are very strong and have great form, keep up the good work!” And then he went back to his rack. It really made my day.

The majority of women of all sizes and all weight categories have cellulite. It’s literally how our bodies are made. Notice how men no matter what shape and size they are don’t have cellulite? It’s because they weren’t designed to have it. Just like they weren’t designed to birth children and breast feed etc. no matter how tone I get my legs and how strong my legs are they will always have cellulite ever since I hit puberty I’ve had cellulite. I saw a girl at the store once and you could tell she worked out her legs looked very strong and she still had cellulite a lot like mine. And I thought omg, her legs look beautiful. That helped me as well. As long as your legs are toned in my opinion cellulite doesn’t look bad.

@@stevenmichaelmarlowe you’re very right ! It’s super important for beginners to focus on form first before even adding weight at all ! You’ve got the right mindset to not be ashamed of where youre at . Even just having started is one step ahead of most !
Sorry Mark but you are wrong. Heavy weight for low reps OR light weight at high reps will both make you muscular. That's just how the body works. As far as getting big, you'll need to eat more for that to happen. Taylor a plan to your fitness goals, but let's not pretend if a lady comes in and curls to failure she's not going to get muscular.
It was when I dropped my ego and started using light weights that I really started to grow. You can easily control that light weight, you can really focus on contracting the muscle and build a really good mind/muscle connection.
Very true, I was frustrated that I couldn’t hip thrust heavier amount the other day. But I redirected myself to an exercise that I could do and still had a successful gym session.
💖
It’s also very okay to ask for help if you’re not too sure how to use some machines 😅
I asked someone to help me with an exercise today. She actually really helped me. Really proud of myself
Absolutely! The gym is a judgment-free zone, and everyone is there to focus on their own journey. We all start somewhere, and it's about progress, not perfection.
okay a big one: sweat! Getting it on machines/ benches.. I’m always afraid to get up and see the marks but who cares as long as you wipe it down!!!
DO NOT APPROACH WOMEN AT THE GYM. THEY WILL RECORD YOU AND PUT YOU ON TIK TOK
Amen to that!
I showed my friend your 7 yr transformation and he was like exercise cant do that. And i was like oh yes, yes it can. Just your consistency
Don't need to even look into this, if he said that exercise can't do that, it can't. I bet you believe you can pay your phone bill with hopes and dreams too, don't you.
When I get annoyed about these types of things I do like failing at a heavy weight or making a mistake - I go to the treadmill to clear my head and plan my next move. It just looks like a warm up or part of your routine!
I have more anxiety about the actual comments people have made about me when they think I’m not listening.
Me everyday everyday is a day to feel cute and work hard . There is a 60 year old bully woman at the gym who sneers at me and taking pictures in the mirror I’m very aware and her energy is a big no No . I’m not gonna let anyone stop me from shining I almost died so people don’t know that, it’s why I’m so fit and live every day like it could be my last thanking god ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
you go girl! i hope you haven’t stopped feeling this way ❤️
Very nice.. keep up them nice workouts..and never quit working out.. you look like you really enjoy it.. from your friend Louis 👍☮️🙂
Thank you! I am self-conscious of my cellulite to the point shorts are a no-no for me!
I’ve never ever worn shorts ever
I let embarrassment keep me out of the gym for way too long. Now I work out 5 to 6 days a week and I regret missing out all that time. Nobody is looking and judging you. I promise. We are all there to get healthy and fit, and support one another in our journey. Just do it❤
Good points, I love watching another person who also helps peoples' health and fitness, but also, not to be embarrassed!
I use to feel that way back when I was younger . At 50 and paying my bill for my gym membership, that’s my stumping ground 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
People in my gym were soo much like this and that is why I left the gym
If I looked like you, honey I would not be embarrassed 😂
She isn't, trust me
The only one who know how to make us feel confident in the gym
She is absolutely correct the most important thing about going to the gym is that you went you made the effort that's the only thing that really counts in life at all so you make the effort
I needed this today :)
This was actually super encouraging 💛✨🙌🏼 I'm grateful for the message
I love that she made this video. Sometimes I'm always curious of how I do workouts in the gym.
Keep pushing and slaying those workouts 💪
Balance and consistency does it. Great job!
Wow thank you I needed this as a new gym user The struggle is real
I'm just gonna put this out there too....butts sweat too, I used to get embarrassed by the sometimes little bit of sweat left on the seat of whatever machine it was i was sitting on just go grab a paper towel and the cleaning spray and clean it up toss the paper towel and move on to the next, I've never had anyone laugh at me or do an odd look at the machine or up at me then back the machine again. Sweat is normal from EVERYWHERE on your body
😘
Why is it ok to body shame guys with leg day memes but you are all super supportive of one another body differences? The amount of women I seen criticise and belittle men with skinny legs when it’s largely down to genetics is really upsetting
Thank you babe! ❤ needed this!!
“People are insecure, their too busy worrying about their own insecurities,they don’t notice you” -my mama
Me walking around the gym to find the 2kg dumbbells 😂
Perfect video for anyone starting out at the gym
Omg this is so healing :( recently I failed at trying the assisted pull-up equipment because my arms were too weak to carry my whole body weight, even with the highest support. I was so embarassed I felt like crying hahaha
Omg that color combo on her is so cute!
When you start going to the gym you very quickly notice that people are not judgmental at all. I have only had positive interactions with people at the gym, if there has been an interaction to begin with. People are so busy doing their own thing and they don’t wanna be bothered so they won’t bother you either. Most people who go to the gym do so for a reason, to self improve and for a lot of people the gym is a safe space where you can let go of all anxiety. I’m a woman and I have had a few men come up to me and be genuine in their complements, not flirtatious at all. Something I think many women are a bit scared of. Being stared at by men at the gym, but honestly that really hasn’t happened to me. It has happened once or twice, but it has been outside the gym and not in the actual gym. One guy came up to me when I was at the squat rack and said “Sorry to bother you, but can I take this plate? My squat rack didn’t have this one” I said “Yeah ofc” and then he said “You are very strong and have great form, keep up the good work!” And then he went back to his rack. It really made my day.
You forgot the most important: visible sweat down there 👀
YESSS!!! I am so glad to hear I am not the only one dealing with this? Do you have any tips? I have just resulted into wearing only black which is sad cause I wanna wear different colours but what can I do
Wear cotton underwear and sweatpants. You dont have to wear only leggings looking like a pornstar.
@@ryanleblanc6817 I actually prefer wearing sweatpants. However, where I live the climate doesn't always agree with me wearing sweatpants. If you think leggings make a woman look like a pornstar, you have a lot of work to do on yourself, a woman should be able to exist her body without being sexualised especially when her body is existing in a medium that is not inherently sexual- gym.
Just remember we all go to the gym for the same thing to either get fit or stay fit so don’t be embarrassed just remember all those fit people around have been in ur shoes one time ❤
Thing is, too many people go to the gym for too many reasons, other than working out, if you know what I mean. A dedicated workout should be your sole motivation. Consistency is the key.
The last one! I tell every girl from d3
Thanks u so much for this 💗
A few times I've made the decision to stop my workout and go home because I was embarrassed of how much I was dripping sweat everywhere I went to in the gym even when there were disinfectants and towels.
Just know that if you're wiping down the equipment afterwards nobody is thinking about it. For most of us the only person we're thinking about at the gym is ourselves.
This is why my wife don’t want me in the gym
I’ve been working out consistently and have noticed a HUGE difference in my thighs… but I still have cellulite :( I wear shorts only sometimes but I can’t help but to be self conscious. Anyways this video is a reminder I shouldn’t give into my thoughts ❤
The majority of women of all sizes and all weight categories have cellulite. It’s literally how our bodies are made. Notice how men no matter what shape and size they are don’t have cellulite? It’s because they weren’t designed to have it. Just like they weren’t designed to birth children and breast feed etc. no matter how tone I get my legs and how strong my legs are they will always have cellulite ever since I hit puberty I’ve had cellulite. I saw a girl at the store once and you could tell she worked out her legs looked very strong and she still had cellulite a lot like mine. And I thought omg, her legs look beautiful. That helped me as well. As long as your legs are toned in my opinion cellulite doesn’t look bad.
Same here I am self-conscious about my cellulite...I still dont feel confident on shorts after year's of working out and always go for darker leggings😢
Thanks I needed to hear this
I still feel weird to wear sports bra to workout
Showing up to the gym is a win for me! I too use the lighter weights, but give it my all!
At least we got off the couch and came, We rock ladies 💪
Love your videos they are so helpful
Thank you sis ❤️ Appreciate this
You’re just amazing!! Gracie Bella 🙏🏻
What if I’m just embarassed by people filming their bad acting at the gym 😳
I only wear black long pants to the gym A lot of my coworkers go there and I hate how they talk about women and how they want to see this and that body part A lot of other men there aren’t better, so no short or light bottoms for me
That's exactly my point, the majority of women wear barely anything at the gym, they love doing bridges or bending over specially in front of dudes so they can check on them. They don't even wear underwear or bra underneath the mini outfit, it is disrespectful to married couples that workout together.
@@sunshinemoon4189 these women dont have respect for themselves and seek attention/validation with their bodies, as its the easiest form of earning that. looking good is a confident boost, but theres a time and place for that on the other hand, the sexualisation of womens bodies is out of hand and we all need a re-set
@@salsadip7453 absolutely well said, I think the same way like you, that's the reason why my husband and I canceled the membership and bought equipment to workout at home, not because I'm insecure but because I don't want to see these thirsty women half naked getting in my husband's face. I've never been at the gym with booty shorts without underwear or sport bra with nipples hard as a bottom. That is disgraceful and disrespectful to couples working out together. If they want validation so bad then, make an account and post of their naked pics.
id love to have a home gym, but unfortunately I don’t have enough space currently Some day, when I’ll move… It’s unfortunate that nowadays people either are wearing barely clothes or they cover up due to religious reasons Where did the middle ground go
@@salsadip7453 I hope you can one day, it's so convenient, less stressful and you don't have to wait for people sitting on the machine doing absolutely nothing but texting. You're right, some people are extreme when it comes to wearing clothes, either wear almost nothing or wearing too much like a non
I need more of these videos
Facts sis, facts! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾💜
Advice for a person that wants to vlog and create content but to nervous about the way she looks and what she does
That’s why I go when it’s the quietest/empty.
I just love your videos! ❤
Problem is wearing something as tight and skimpy revealing as that you just get stared at the whole time.
That's kind of the point isn't it? There's a guy at my gym who wears spandex putting his package on display. He's very aware when he dresses like that that people are going to look at him, good or bad. Just dress for the level of attention you want.
@@Frank_Reynolds__. very true. I don’t need to get attention to work out 😂😂😂
Thank you for posting this ❤
With love i say, wear whatever you want, IF you want the wrong people in your life with the wrong motives. God bless you all!
Needed this thank you !
You guys ever farted while stretching? 😭😭 I only ever cool down at home now.
Idk about how other people see this, but when I fail during sets I’m proud of actually training to failure. Because that’s what a good session is. So if you see me collapse on my knees during my dumbbell walking lunges, you best bet I’m feeling pretty badass 🎉
I see many people “fail” at the gym, it is completely normal and anybody who is serious about training will have it happen to them constantly. It is a normal part of working out and it happens to everyone. Nobody will look at someone in the gym and go “Oohh that person failed what a weak ass pussy”😅 it is a part of training and improving strength and anybody who is serious about training knows this. The only time anybody is going to say anything is if you end up hurting yourself and in that case people are very eager to help you out and maybe they might urge you to be a bit more careful next time.
This is why I should never stop going to the gym
I'm so here for all the down-to-earth no fuss fitness creators❤
You made my day girl 🤍✨️
It's easy to do everything when you're pretty
No matter what environment, if there are people you will be judged. You're there to focus on you, not their judgement.
I just love people like her saying it
How much that each dumbbell weigh? Those doesn't look light weight to me
I’m embarrassed to be on my hands and knees doing fire hydrants and stretching lol
owww me too😭😭
Yeah those u leave for doing at home
@@emyf9194 but i think that stretching is better at the gym😭😭😭
@@drmariamshiraz23 understand but stretching is not embarrassing or Idk what kind of y'all doing lol
@@emyf9194 lol i agree but idk why it's embarrassing😭
Inspirational video ❤ thx sis
It's ok to sweat... you aren't doing much if you at least break a little through your pores.
You are the best love your videos and your outlook also love your outfits can't wait to buy some more soon god bless
Thank you for the reminder ❤
That light?? I use 2kg when arm lifting lmao my weak muscle mass is crying
Thank you so much for this video.... Very beautiful and encouraging messages 😌💗
As a beginner I feel so embarrased for picking up light weights(like 2kg) on my upper body days 😭
I just started going to the gym and i feel intimidated sometimes cause there’s a lot of big men in there 🤣 i don’t know
I definitely get embarrassed using light weights. I have scoliosis with added neck issues so it’s safer to not go heavy
Lower weight with more time under load is good. Less joint risk.
I've just started the gym and I'm self conscious about everything but I know that literally no one cares 😂
I was waitinf for the maximum power fart
🥺🥺🥺it’s my first week and it unlocked a new level of insecurity in me
You got this. Just take things slow, and it’s okay to google things while you’re at the gym. Tbh most people are focusing on themselves anyway.
Good content. Good messages.
You are the best. ❤
Shorty don’t gotta be embarrassed about a damn thing looking like that 😂
A lil shame is good. Bring shame back. We should not wear whatever we want. We should consider others
Love this message
Agreed! Nice video ❤
This is insane content
i’m embarrassed that i won’t know how to use a machine or something and if i need spotting but i don’t want to ask a guy
Why don't we all just workout naked in gym? That's real body positivity.
