Walking into a gym for the first time—or getting back into exercise after a break—can be intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be. In this powerful episode of the EFM Health Club Podcast, we break down practical, not-so-common strategies to overcome exercise anxiety and start building confidence from day one.
We dive into real-world tips like visualising success before you even step through the door, creating anchor habits, reframing nerves into excitement, and setting yourself up with easy wins to build momentum. Plus, we explore why your playlist, your outfit, and even knowing the gym layout can massively change how you feel.
If fear or hesitation has ever held you back from starting—or sticking with—your fitness journey, this is the episode you need to hear. Confidence isn’t born... it’s built. 🎯
