It may be hard to believe that I’ve experienced gymtimidation as a professional athlete, but unfortunately, comparing yourself to others doesn’t stop once you reach a certain level. There have been many times that I’ve looked over at someone else in the gym and compared how heavy their weights are or how much faster they’re going on a treadmill than me. It can make you feel extremely vulnerable, but over time, I’ve worked to overcome this uneasiness by building up my own confidence and mental toughness, which can be as simple as feeling good in your outfit or grinding to the right playlist. Sometimes it’s just a matter of getting out of your own head and reminding yourself that you are working out for you, not anyone else. I’m proud to partner with StitchFix to generate awareness around this topic.
