Tonight makes five days straight going to the gym.
We both have anxiety and self-consciousness about going to the gym. I can’t say that we wouldn’t go at all if it were not for going with each other, but it definitely helps a ton.
I fantasize about both of us helping other people like us in our own unique ways. I wish for everyone to have access to the relief and pleasure of building vocabularies of movement, and feeling safe and welcome doing so, at their own pace, to their own levels. I’ve found that even the most “beginner” level classes and relatively laid-back fitness places are super-intimidating for many types of people and hardly for beginners at all, I want for all of those people left out to have a place to start and feel better — alive, hopeful, and happy — in their bodies.
