In the UK, gym attendance is on the rise with 11.5 million members. As former habits of hygiene are relaxed, gym-goers might not utilize their memberships fully. With a decade of gym experience, the author shares insights on common misconceptions, such as the belief that no one is watching you during workouts. Observations indicate that people do pay attention, which can impact the comfort of both genders differently. Practical advice emphasizes the importance of being aware of one’s surroundings, and offers strategies to mitigate the feeling of being judged, especially for women in fitness spaces.
"People watch and judge others everywhere, and the gym is no exception. It’s nice to say nobody cares, but it isn’t true."
