Politely decline and reply that the gesture is appreciated, and that you will ask them if you need assistance.
Noah Richardson
They're only trying to help. The only way youre going to cure your anxiety is to actually look people in the eyes and talk to them.
Samuel Scott
"no"
Henry Green
Do you feel they were being genuine? I usually only see people offering assistance if someone is fucking up pretty badly. Maybe you have really bad form...better to learn the right way early on and not build bad habits
David Wilson
this so much. I've been doing wrong a lot of things before someone finally told me I'm fucking the exercises up. From then on I experienced a lot more improvement.
Owen Sanders
you decline their help and keep going, if you said no the first time they wont bother you again unless your form is complete garbage, in which case you need the help

That's obnoxious. I'd either 1) go at a different time or 2) switch gyms.
Switching gyms is really drastic obviously but there ARE gyms out there with people that won't bother you and will just let you work out. One of my biggest pet peeve is people interrupting your workout for whatever reason. If I had people doing this to me at every gym session I'd probably switch gyms. It's just obnoxious.

Buy headphones. Ignore everyone. Research lifts on YouTube. DONT DO meme instagram workouts
There you go
