thank you my queen for making all this so simple, easy to understand and not intimidating. i shall update back in 5 months hopefully with abs and so much strength physically in general.

I’m not so beginner in gym, like I tried to start before and I think reaching for weights people are secretly judging so I never do and I stopped, a year later which is today, I’m still a beginner cause I still don’t know how to lift, but I think of “some of these people might judge not knowing that their form might be incorrect what if I might realize that as I get used to lifting weights?” like any other hobbies or skills, like you’re scared to be judge when you’re a beginner but when you’re knowledgeable and experienced, you’ll realize some peeps do it wrong. I hope that a year later, I see this and I’m into Calisthenics

I know you made this video three years ago, but still, thank you so much. It’s helping in current day too, guides like these are timeless. I love how much your explanation makes sense, and it made me feel so inspired to learn about your journey. It also feels so nice to know that I’m not alone, I’ve also been afraid of the gym for the exact reasons you listed, and knowing that you succeeded despite that fear makes me have hope for myself. You have a very lovely, soft, and calming voice that really puts me at ease and makes me feel like I’m listening to a friend. I also adore how you said ‘be confident in yourself, don’t worry about what other people think,’ but in a way that wasn’t ‘preachy’ per se. A lot of influencers and gym people say, ‘stop being afraid, nobodies watching you, just do it,’ but it gives me the vibes of telling someone with asthma to ‘just breathe.’ It’s not so easy to simply shake off fear or self consciousness, especially when you have anxiety or depression and want to get into lifting to get better. Sharing your experiences with fear, and then bringing up ‘don’t be afraid,’ by the end, I could tell you meant it with compassion and understood the struggle of anxiety and you weren’t talking down to anyone listening to your guide. I really appreciate it. Again, love this video; I’m going to use it. Subscribed

Dude, thank you!!! I literally chose a weight lifting class for my elective so I could properly learn how to lift weights, only to find out it's just another gym. The teacher barely helps.

thank you for this!

Thank you so much, maybe I will finally go to the gym for the first time after this (I've just been doing workouts at home)

So helpful! Thank you so much! ❤️

I appreciate so much all your advice! The gender dynamics at the gym are so real. I felt so intimidated and scared of guys giving me a look for not doing it right or whatever. Thank you thank you! I have been using the Fitbod app and it is fantastic to have a plan and feel like I know what I am doing.

Thank you for this. I'm getting back into exercising after a good while, and I'm very intimated about learning weightlifting. This is great info.

This workout is exactly what I needed. Thanks for the awesome content!

My wife asked me to help her find info on weightlifting for women. 5 videos in and I’m realising how much brainrot there is in this world. Positive affirmations, body positivity, gender identity, mindfulness blah blah holy shit stop talking and provide a basic routine. This toxic waffling about nothing is ruining beginner women’s mentality going into sports. Literally, I have to build her routine based on male coaches, and just look up optimal form for females to make sure she can do the movement due to hip anatomy. This is ridiculous, stop wasting my time.

Thank you for the note on smith machine squats!! I feel like no one talks about this but I started working out doing dumbbell squats because thats all my apartment gym had. I progressed to the point that I really wanted to add more weight, but had (still have) the grip strength of a baby. When i moved home during covid, i started doing smith machine squats (my dad happened to have a smith machine but no squat rack) and started with a failrly heavy weight because i had already built up some strength... after months of doing this, I finally went to a gym for the first time with my bf and really wanted to do actual barbell squats... I couldnt even do half the weight i was used to because alot of the muscles needed to stabalize my body during the movement were so incredibly weak. I was honestly shocked and didnt expect it at all... and thats why im happy and grateful you mentioned it!

What is the water situation? Is there filtered water, or should I get a Brita?

Great video!!

A piece of advice from someone who is MGC: don’t forget that there are other councils besides ISC/panhellenic. There’s also NPHC and MGC for social Greek organizations. There are also academic and service oriented Greek organizations, so do your research!

This is so clear and understandable. Thank you!

I am not a woman but the reason I clicked on the video was because you looked the most real...

Thank you for your interesting video - it's not just woman who get nervous in the gym. I can inetantly relate when you say you head for the treadmill for 20-30 minutes and then some abs exercises in the corner - that's my typical workout, but I love to have the confidence to use more equipment / weights!

Hi I really want to go to Croatia and I was wondering what the name of the sailboat tour you did was?

If you feel self conscious at the gym and are comparing yourself to others, check out your city's community/rec centers! I workout exclusively at my city's rec center. It's rarely busy and it is mostly just older folks doing a morning gentle workout. And it is free!

Loved the break down thank you again ! this will be my new routine for the month :)

I have been looking for a video to help me with my start in getting off the treadmill and you answered every question I had !!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you <3

People look at me when I'm at the gym but it's usually because I'm 40 years younger than most of them and they're surprised to see me. 😅 My area is mainly retired snowbirds and it's great.

This was really helpful thank you!

this video is super helpful, thanks so much! :)

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Watching every video on yt about sas bc I am so obsessed it’s literally my dream

Thank you this is so helpful

@Sophiaceletano How are you liking UVA ? I like what you doing on your page 💪

Is that East beach? Love going there!

Third video of 'weightlifting for women' that I've watched: all talk no action! This one had better talk, but where is the demonstration? Where is the lifting techinques? Where is using the equipment?

Great content! I recently covered a similar topic on my fitness channel, and I’d love to hear your thoughts!

You don't know how comforting it is to know there are others who feel like you don't belong in the gym and do only the basics because you're too self-conscious. Thank you for putting this together
