Long post alert!!! I was the same way. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety a year ago and gained 50 pounds that I’m now trying to lose. I never stepped foot in a gym. On the other hand, my husband was a collegiate athlete, is a certified personal trainer, is in the military, and bodybuilding is his hobby. He goes to the gym at 5am every morning. So essentially, we are complete opposites.
He took me to the gym every day when we both had a week off during a recent military move. He showed me how to use the machines and wrote a little workout plan for me – simple, like do a push machine, then a pull machine, then a leg machine, etc. He even showed me just how to use a treadmill. I was so anxious because I seriously had never been to a gym and was intimidated by all the extremely fit military men and women at our gym. I didn’t even know what buttons to use on a treadmill. Now, I am able to go to the gym by myself while he’s at work and do 30 mins machines/30 mins cardio without him. Even on days where I feel anxious and just walk on the treadmill for an hour I’m proud of myself for physically getting myself to the gym without him.
If you feel comfortable doing the same thing, I would 100% suggest it. To me, his extreme act of patience and coaching was one of the greatest demonstrations of love, since his usual routine is squatting with 300 pounds and other crazy stuff and he spent the time to show me how to set up the leg extension machine to lift 20 pounds. He never got frustrated with me or made me feel embarrassed. Just knowing how to physically use each machine made me more confident in the gym.
If you don’t think he would like that, I would suggest hiring a personal trainer that works for the gym or a certified trainer in your area. You don’t have to book him/her as a regular thing, maybe just work something out where they can help your fiancé establish comfort and confidence in the gym.
I also bought these workout journals to help keep track so I don’t feel so bewildered without a routine. In the beginning, my husband would fill it out for me as a pre-plan so I would know how to alternate machines.
I hope this helps! Besides knowing how to use the machines, the other thing that eased my anxiety is noticing that when I’m in the gym, nobody is paying attention to me – everybody is way too focused on their own routine.
We also have gym dates together every Saturday and Sunday and I look forward to them. I hate when we miss them! It’s the only time on the weekend we can workout together. He goes off and does his bodybuilding stuff and I stick to my own beginners workout, but I usually ask him to show me how to do 1-2 new things. This ranges from TRX ropes, to medicine ball workouts, to machines I’ve never used and feel scared of!
