Feeling anxious about the gym? You're not alone.

In an ideal world, the toughest part of your gym session would be the workout itself. Yet, for many, the real challenge lies in battling gym anxiety—those feelings of unease about being judged or navigating unfamiliar equipment.

Research by Fitness First found that nearly 2 in 5 adults avoid the gym because they feel self-conscious about their appearance, and over 1 in 4 worry others will judge their fitness levels or ability to perform exercise movements. 

Unlike traditional gyms, CrossFit is designed for people who aren’t sure where to begin. Every session is led by a coach who guides you through each movement, ensuring you know exactly what to do and how to do it safely.

Here at gyms like The Goat Shed our focus is just normal people trying to get healthier and a supportive community is a key part of who we are. We are not full of ultra-fit athletes—most people are just regular folks working towards their own goals. And the best part? Every workout is scalable to their fitness level, so you’ll never feel out of place.

If your still not sure we offer free one to one fitness consultations with our head coach Marks or free taster sessions to get you started. If you are feeling anxious about starting just let us know so that we can do all that we can to reassure you.
