1) Find a gym or workout center that is open 24 hours a day. You might be able to go off peak times, when no one is around.
2) Find a "no judgement" type gym. I mean, you may still get the occasional jerk, but for the most part no one would care enough to notice, and most people wouldn't be jerks enough to say something cruel.
2b) Usually guys will be looking at the girls; THEY won't be looking at you too much, unless they're certain straight girls or certain gay guys (there will be plenty of both who aren't looking, too, by the way). And most people will be too busy working out (and concentrating on that), too busy watching TV or listening to music to even notice you (unless you're obnoxious or you're wearing something REALLY bad for you, or you smell REALLY bad).
3) Don't be obnoxiously drawing attention to yourself. I doubt you would, but you never know. That will help, too.
4) Can you afford gym equipment yourself? Do you have room in your place? You could do it there. Depending on weather, you can also run outside, bike... or if stuck indoors, play with a kinnect or Wii, get a workout plan or system... dance alone like a crazy person... there's a lot of options if you don't want to be seen working out "in public" with what you might think would be a lot of people watching you.
Go to the gym during slow business hours. Go to a gym that's not very popular. Change your attitude a lot of people at the gym are self conscious that's why they are there so your all on the same boat. Go to planet fitness put on some muscle then upgrade to a real gym. Workout at home. Go to a park and do body weight exercises. There's tons of things you can do but most importantly your going to have to eat more. Your skinny for a reason and don't try to play that high metabolism card. If you ate more you would not be skinny
If anyone makes fun of you, simply go up to them and ask for pointers. For instance, if a guy is snickering in the corner watching you struggle, go up to him and say something along the lines of "Hey, I'm new to this but I want to approve my body and gain muscle mass. Any pointers you can give me?" I highly doubt in any instance that a guy will turn away another guy in need of fitness advice. Just do your thing. You know what you're there for.
Those guys at the gym were probably just like you before they got all buff. You should just go! Or have a friend go with you so you feel more comfortable. If you keep holding back, you'll never feel happy about your appearance :/

Listen hon, this is what the gym is for! You go in there, and you do what you want to make yourself the way you want to be! Gyms are much more supportive than that and everyone is there for the same reason! :) If you have a bad experience switch gyms or by your own stuff and go to home... I think you'll be fine though! You'll probably even make lots of friends!
I started going to the gym suuuuuper out of shape.
Nobody ever even looked at me, let alone said anything.
They aren't the nightmares that they're made out to be.
Plus , like half of my gyms population is old ladies haha.
I bet yours would be the same.
"I will be laughed by those who go to gym regularly."
- no way man, as long as you're lifting hard and pushing what you can do, that's respectful. Throw on head phones, tune out the rest and just do your thing.
Everyone has to start somewhere so kudos to you for going. Remember, you're game is going to be diet diet diet. Make sure you eat to get the most out of your work out.
Good job.
I doubt people will laugh or comment, you are there to work on yourself and that should be viewed as a great thing. And if anyone laughs, they're just dumbasses with brains the size of a pea. You remember why you are there and that you're changing yourself for the better :)
Just go to the gym. If you don't you'll be skinny and insecure forever. People won't laugh at you at the gym, everybody at the gym started off skinny or fat. All I've ever got at the gym was support and advice from more experienced guys, I've never been laughed at.
OMG u gotta stop being such a fucking weenie! To keep it #100 with you, most people at the gym are so focused on their routine that they won't be bothered to criticize someone else. In fact most people who WILL give you attention, will give u positive reinforcement!
Nobody at the gym laughs at fat/skinny people. It's a good thing for you to take charge of your health, nobody was born strong they all had to start somewhere.
I started skinny too and I am still kinda thin but much more muscle mass than I had before. I know what it's like to feel insecure just understand you will be miles better than those who don't go to the gym at all.
Gyms are made for body insecurities. I guarantee you everyone in whatever gym you go to has felt insecure about something pertaining to thier body. You're not alone. The people who came out the womb looking absolutely perfect aren't in the gym the people who worked hard to change the way they look are.
Honestly, people at the gym if they laugh, laugh at the exercises some people are doing, more than the shape they're in or what they currently lift.
You go in, get some help to get started, people see you going in and doing your best to hold good form on squats, deads, bench, press... they won't laugh.
They see you go stand around doing some curls then leaving, they'll laugh.
Stop being a bitch, u gotta start somewhere! Just go, I promise no one will care how out of shape you are, just get up and go
No one will care. Just don't let your ego get the best of you and embarrass yourself by trying to pump too much weight at once. Literally every other week or so someone new comes and you can tell when he's just slapping plates on the bench press that he is in way over his head and then someone has to go save him once he starts suffocating after he can't lift the barbell up after one rep...
Get your ass in the gym.
1) People are far more concerned about themselves than you. You probably won't be on their radar at all. Seriously.
2) If you don't face your fears, then you DESERVE the bad things that result from them. Be a man. Grow a spine and do what needs to be done.
Go to a gym that doesn't have that many people, and migrate from station to station so that you can avoid people.
Or you could just buy whatever equipment you need and workout at home.
Do you respect yourself? Do you care for yourself? If yes than you need to know that its okay to go to the gym. I see plently of small frame people and big people at the gym.. I encourage you to go to the gym so that you gain confidence!
you could always frequent the park's apparatus. the one near me is usually empty.
Well, that's just in your head i mean seriously, people go there to improve themselves i doubt anyone could give half a fuck about your body.
Ignore them. Turn off your "care o meter" and focus on the objective.
You don't have any other choice if you want to change.
The sooner the better.
No one laughs at you in the gym. Trust me on this.
Everybody starts somewhere.
There are all kinds of looking people at the gym. Trust me no one is laughing at you.
mabe start at home for a month then start at the gym the next month.
