    When you join, they will appoint a trainer to give you an in-depth tour so you know where everything is, and they'll also teach you to use the machines. And at any time after that, if you need help, just ask. Everyone has to learn this stuff at some point and they understand that.

    I was nervous at first also i though I would stupid in the wieght room but i don't becuse i got a trainer and i got a rutine now. There is alot of people wandering around looking dumb and doing a few reps of soemthing and stoping and can tell they have no idea why there so i am sure you will do fine.

    I used to feel nervous going to gyms because I felt like everyone was watching me and I didn't know what I was doing. Now I've been to enough of them to realize that nobody really cares. That said, I don't belong to one now because I'm worried I won't have time to go enough....and I'm lazy. I need to join a gym.

    I happened to see this on a website recently. So even celebrities go to a gym and aren't familiar with it. But unless you are famous nobody is going to care.

    I was working out in the downstairs area of the sherman oaks 24 hour fitness the morning of monday jan. 15 . i had noticed an older gray-haired guy on one of the two rowing machines rowing one-handed while on his cellphone. i made my way over to the other rowing machine and noticed right as i sat down that is was alec baldwin. he half smiled and kept on rowing (really poor technique, by the way). he did that for a while and then moved on to a couple of the weight machines. he must not go there very often since he had to ask one of the trainers where one of the ab machines is. and then he goes and makes a comment during his golden globe acceptance speech about just recovering from hernia surgery.

    If the gym is only a few miles, just walk there and back every day. One of the days, you'll have built up the courage to walk in and buy a membership, but in the meantime, you'll be burning off a lot of calories.

    I went to the gym twice. First time trainer took my fat measurements, charged me for a session, and sent me on my way. Second time I worked out, the locker ate my money and I had to just put my stuff in unsecure. I couldn't figure out some machines, the place was packed, I felt fat and insecure compared to the other young attractive girls, and I ran into clients and prospects. I don't want to go back......
