Intimidated by gym

I'm a 24 year old guy and I want to get into the habit of working out. I have access to a rec center but I have a hard time figuring out what to do. I'm overwhelmed by the amount of people and equipment. I don't know where to begin and am afraid of looking like a fool. How do I become comfortable going to work out? My goal is to be healthy as health issues run in the family. I'm 6'4" and about 160lbs

You started exactly as I did.

EAT AND STRENGTH TRAINING

another one of these threads?

no one, no one, literally fucking NO ONE in the gym cares about you or even notices you. they are busy with their own shit. there is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, and if you make a foolish mistake people will be more than happy to help you out.

You think you had it bad? I was a 380 pounds fat as fatass when i waddled into the gym and sat my ass down on the bike, and I still go almost every day. PEOPLE DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU!!!! so please stop being a faggot, read the sticky and go to the gym. thanks.

buy some sticky notes and stare at them for an hour

>health issues run in the family
>I'm 6'4" and about 160lbs
is on of them malnutrition??

read the sticky, pick a routine and go do it. other than that, just stop being a pussy

get a home gym

people there ARE judging you

Good. If you're doing something that you're afraid of that means you're growing as a person.

Read the sticky if you don't know what to do. Stop caring about what other people think of you.

if they give you shit you can actually get them banned from the gym

if they don't then who gives a fuck? you have to be extremely insecure to be intimidated by other people's thoughts

>people there ARE judging you

This is true
>see fatties and skellies working out in the gym
>judge them positively for making an effort

Go to a gym to improve yourself - fear of judgement
Waddle into McDonalds to stuff your face - no fear of judgement whatsoever
Really makes you think.
