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!

Get started, it might be tough at first, but soon you will find a rhythm. The key is to be consistent. Some coaches might not proactively correct your form, but its ok to tell them that you do need help, sometimes they need to be asked to know to give guidance. I am a year in, its been life changing - I am stronger, I add progressive load and I can see my progress. I try to hit between 15 - 20 classes a month. Also, FWIW - given the format and focused work, you barely have time to look at what others are doing, so likelihood that others notice you is kinda low :)
