Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Don't be daunted by the gym just go and you will be fine.It is because you have got out of habit.Even if you say i am only going to do .....free weights and then you move on to other areas you want to do.

You were right, Wp. It was a habit things. I went and it was fine. I found a space away from everyone, gathered what I needed and completed 5 circuits of the exercises my coach had set. He is clever to know that would be a comfortable way to get me back there. Both the Smith machine and barbells were in use so I couldn't have done my old workout and I'd probably have turned around and walked out again.

A bit up again after a few days away in the camper van, then a weekend away with one group of friends and a day out, including lunch, with another group of friends yesterday.
I'm back at the gym and have asked my coach for a new programme so I can properly get back into resistance training using the barbells.
