I remember the first time I walked into a gym for a strength training session over 15 years ago. I was 30 years old and thought I was well past feeling intimidated to walk into a gym. I was wrong. I looked around at everyone else wearing all the ‘right’ kit, lifting weights I could only dream of doing, and immediately wanted to leave.
But despite feeling completely out of my depth, something made me stay. And it didn’t take long to realise showing up was one of the best decisions of my life, and that all of my preconceived notions of lifting weights were wrong.
