Book an induction or PT session

Nothing looks better than confidence, which is why it's a good idea to book a free induction or even a personal training session.

Knowing you've got the perfect squat and spot-on step machine technique will not only have you looking like a true gym hero, butshould also ease the anxiety levels just a touch.

Invest in some killer workout clothes

One way to feel better about your gym experience is to invest in some comfortable and practical clothes that you can lunge your heart out in, you know, so your leggings don't end up round your ankles.

Moisture-wicking fabrics are a great idea as they allow sweat to evaporate quickly and, for obvious reasons, it's best to avoid anything that goes see-through when stretched.

Take a mate

Venturing to the gym alone can be a pretty daunting experience, so taking a pal will allow you both to focus on pushing each other rather than worrying about whetherTrisha on the treadmill is giving you judgmental stares.

Plus the moral support is always nice.

Invest in gym-friendly makeup

Going make-up freeis preferable as it's always nice to let your skin breathe when sweating, but understandably that's not something that everyone feels comfortable doing.

Luckily there's a ton of makeup that will safely see you through your sesh without causing major breakouts. The Eyeko Yoga Waterproof Mascara is great for avoiding cardio-induced panda eyes, or if you're looking to cover all bases the entire CliniqueFit makeup range is a godsend.
