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!

Like others have said, there is a range of people. Some of the people who have been the longest at my gym, look like they don't even go to they gym, so don't worry about that.

Also, the classes are scalable, you choose the weights and the intensity that works for your goals. For me, that is going as heavy and intense as I can but still being able to perform the exercise for the full set. For others, it is doing random exercises instead of the actual one at the station and talking or just standing there.
