If you\u2019re self-conscious about your weight, going to the gym can be one of the most daunting experiences ever. The fear of being judged takes over and makes the whole thought of the gym absolutely terrifying. <\/p>\n

I went to the gym for the first time today and here are five things my friends told me about the gym that I thought were lies but it turns out they\u2019re 100% true.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, if you\u2019re reading this and feeling the same way about going to the gym, this might just encourage you to go.<\/p>\n

Trust me, you\u2019ll feel so much better about yourself if you do!<\/p>\n
