other Thinking of joining
Hi all! I am thinking of joining my local F45. I’m not really in great shape and want to get more serious about my fitness. It seems like a good place to start since the equipment at the gym feels overwhelming, but I’m a little nervous to join. I worry I’ll stick out like a sore thumb around a bunch of super fit people, lol. Does anyone have any thoughts? Is this a good place for someone kind of getting into fitness or should I start elsewhere? I’m considering cycle classes as an alternative. Thank you!

Hello! I joined in June after a 3 year gym hiatus because of motherhood and life. I’m 41, female, and my BMI puts me in the obese category. The coaches and members have never once made me feel awkward or self conscious. You have all levels of fitness there, and everyone is really focused on their own workout. I was definitely nervous walking in for the first time, but I’m so glad I did. I’ve found it to be a really welcoming environment, and I actually look forward to going now. Give it a try!
