I've been to the gym a few times but I'm always so lost! Anyone have tips to overcome this?

    Any gym I've been a member of offers a complementary assessment session and workout plan with a trainer as part of your membership. If you're nervous around the gym then I can't recommend that highly enough! They can find out your goals, give you a plan and show you how to do everything :)

    My boyfriend and I joined a gym and, like you, we were totally lost. The only thing we knew is we were ready to make a change and the treadmill is all we knew how to use. We took advantage of the free training session our gym offered and it has made a world of difference! We were able to develop a plan and stick to it.

    Another thing I would suggest is, if at all possible, find a gym buddy. Having someone else help to keep you accountable is a plus. When one of us is all "I really don't want to go to the gym today" the other is there to say "Let's go!"

    Best of luck!

    What are your goals? Are you interested primarily in cardio fitness, weight training or both? Prefer solo training or group sessions?

    For the weight training, have a look at http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10332083/which-lifting-program-is-the-best-for-you#latest
