Anyone got any embarrassing gym stories?
>First day at the gym
>Don't know what the fuck I'm doing
>Walk up to reception to sign up
>Get a key for a locker to put my bag in
>Got lost, had to ask receptionist where everything was
>Figure out where locker room is and put my bag in a random locker
>Its very hard to close and see people looking at me as I desperately try to close the locker
>Make my way to the actual gym
>Oh wow that's alot of people
>Walk out after literally just walking in the door
>Decide I need to gtfo ASAP
>Go to locker room to get my bag
>Its stuck
>People literally staring at me like I have down syndrome as I try to fit the key in a million different ways
>Realise I put my bag in the wrong key i was assigned to
>Have to go back to reception and explain this
>Has to get someone to help me open this fucking locker
>Finally get my bag and leave
>I spent an hour in the gym and only managed to get my bag stuck in a locker

Keked hard. All I can say is think before you do and try to relax and stop being autistic around people

Learn to relax. Everyone is at the gym to do their own thing and usually doesn't care what you're doing as long as it isn't a gross violation of gym etiquette or horribly bad form that will undoubtedly lead to an immediate injury.
You're new so don't be afraid to ask people a few questions.

I tried to tell myself that before I went but it was like as soon as I got there I had some kind of autistic meltdown.
I haven't given up yet, but that experience was a fucking nightmare.
