Gymtimidation

a largely fake concept developed by planet fitness to describe when out of shape soccer moms are afraid to go to the gym because they think everyone is looking at their muffin top and judging them, when in reality no one cares and might actually want to help them with their workout if they want it.

Karen: man, I joined planet fitness because I felt some Gymtimidation by muscleheads, but since I joined planet fitness I can do all the cardio I want at the pizza party!

gymtimidation

Gymtimidation is when someone is very insecure about them selves and they feel threatened by others in the gym who are in good physical condition.

Many people do not go to the gym because of this as well.
Many who are gymtimidated take another persons serious look on their face while they are working out as a threat and feel gymtimidated.

They also feel that everyone in the gym is staring at them but in reality, no one is paying them any attention

Gymtimidation: Is the fear of others who are in better shape than they are.
Much of this fear is generated from the victim himself

want to go to this new gym but I know there will be muscular guys in there in better shape than me....
but Im Gymtimidated.
