Too Scared to Walk In
The door stops more people than the workout ever does
Gym anxiety is not a rare thing that happens to a few unusually nervous people. Survey after survey puts it near the top of the reasons adults give for never joining, and it has almost nothing to do with fitness. The feeling is real. The size of it usually is not, which is the part most people never get told.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
I've never set foot in a gym. Is this too advanced for me?
No, it's written for exactly that. This isn't for people who already train and want a better programme. It's for the person standing in the car park who can't make themselves walk through the door. We start from there and go at your pace.
Will this actually help the anxiety, or is it just workout tips?
It's about the anxiety, not the workouts. Most gym guides hand you a training plan and assume the exercise is the hard part. For a lot of us it isn't. The hard part is making yourself walk in when you don't know where anything is and feel like everyone's looking. That's what this guide deals with first.
Is this a physical book, and how do I get it?
It's a PDF you download straight away. The moment you check out, the link is on your screen and in your email, so there's nothing to wait for in the post. You can read it on your phone, tablet, or computer, or print it if you'd rather hold it.
What if it doesn't help me?
Then you get your money back. We offer a 30-day refund, no questions asked. If it isn't right for you, email us and we'll sort it. The only risk is staying stuck outside the door.
