How do I get over gym anxiety?

Go at off-peak times first (10 a.m., 2 p.m., late evenings). Wear headphones. Have a plan on your phone. Everyone is thinking about themselves, not you. It fades in 2–3 weeks of regular attendance.

Follow-up questions

Home gym vs commercial?

Depends on your discipline. Home wins for consistency; gym wins for equipment variety and social pressure to show up.

Personal trainer worth it?

For learning form and building a program, yes. Long-term: only if you need accountability.
