Gymtimidation
Gymtimidation. You may be thinking ‘Who the hell does this girl think she is? She can’t just go around making up words!” But anyone who has ever been out of shape, fat or is just nonathletic, knows what I’m getting at here.
There’s a certain fear in entering the gym for the first time. There are so many feelings of uncertainty. Are people staring at me? Is it because I’m fat? What the hell is that machine? How does it work? What does one do with a kettlebell exactly?

AD OF THE DAY: ‘Gymtimidation’ From Hot Girls In The Locker Room
CHRISTINA AUSTIN
JAN. 9, 2013, 8:30 PM
Working out at a gym can be both motivating and discouraging at the same time. Motivating because you can inspire yourself to become as fit as those around you, and depressing because of how fit the people around you are.
Planet Fitness’s new ad perfectly captures this contradiction, which the company dubs “gymtimidation.”

PR email of the day: “GYMTIMDIDATION IS ON THE RISE” (people are anxious in gyms). I actually quite like this neologism.
