Gymtimidation

A gym space can be a source of intimidation and anxiety and, as a result, leave a newcomer feeling de-motivated and discouraged. This phenomenon can be known as “gymtimidation”. The definition of this experience varies by source but is commonly thought to be associated with feelings of insecurity or feeling threatened by others in the same gym space who may be in a better perceived state of physical health. Every person can experience this at some point along their health journey. Even health and exercise professionals.
