I just joined a gym because I want to have a healthier life and more toned body. I got to the gym excited to work out but I got so overwhelmed and scared to go into the weight section. I went to a treadmill for 30 minutes then went home. I was so disappointed in myself but I was nervous to go and try to figure all this out on my own. Thanks to you I’ll finally be able to work out! Thank you 🙏💕

I first started watching your videos a little under a year ago; up until then, all I EVER did at the gym was go on the elliptical, treadmill, or stationary bike. I never even stepped foot near the weights because I always saw that as “the guys area” and felt like I didn’t belong. Whenever I actually did see girls over there, they looked so fit and looked like they knew exactly what they were doing (which the probably did). I was so intimidated and it all seemed so foreign to me. I eventually decided that I wanted to try lifting weights, but didn’t know where to start, so I literally went on KZread and searched “how to work out at the gym.” I’m not even kidding. That’s when I found you and all your videos, and the fact that you broke everything down so simply made a WORLD of difference for me when I was a complete beginner. I didn’t even know how to adjust the height of the cable machine back then, or how to change the attachments 🤣 I’ve been lifting for about a year now and I still come back to your videos regularly. I am so grateful to you for teaching me exactly what I needed to know, the first time I walked into the weights area of the gym. You’re the best!

Finally gathered the courage today to go to the university gym with some friends who frequent there. I was too embarrassed to go before because they were mostly guys and fit and athletic girls while I'm underweight. These videos were a great help to get familiar with the equipments and reduce my anxiety.

I’m starting my fitness journey and it’s been hard to make it to the gym bc the machines intimidate me! But thank you! These videos will teach me so much so I don’t look clueless at the gym 🥴😊

I'm 2 minutes in and already subscribed. I have never found a video that gives this beginner level information like this. It's like you join a gym and are expected to just...know how they all work. I didn't even know how to start. Next time I go to the gym I will be marching straight to this section of my gym and trying these machines!

You have not idea how Much I needed this 💆🏽‍♀️ didn’t know how to use these at the gym as a result I haven’t been going as I should 🌸

I can’t even begin to tell you how helpful this was. I struggle with A LOT of self confidence and I get severe anxiety. I have been going to the gym for 3 weeks now and have only used the treadmill and elliptical because I didn’t know how to use anything else. Thank you so much!!

Your videos have been a HUGE help for gym-beginners everywhere. Thank you for making these videos easy to understand!

Naomi -- thank you for posting this series. I always had really bad gym anxiety and could never make it to the floor. I just needed someone to explain each machine to feel more confident. I'm now 3 weeks into my journey and I have no problem hitting the floor. Thank you!

I've been binge watching all your videos. I recently decided to start using the weight machines instead of only using cardio machines and this helped me a lot! I was able to get a workout and feel confident in using the machines 🤗

@@TorresDGAF they can be so intimidating at first! But you gotta try them to learn how to do them properly it's really fun once you know what you're doing. I started by just watching these videos while I'm on those machines. Helps a ton. I even started using the barbell and free weights revently it's so fun! You got this girl 🤗

This video is incredibly helpful for those getting back into working out that either forgot or never knew what machines did what at the gym. I fall into both categories, so thanks a lot for making this!

This gotta be the most useful gym video I have ever seen, I LOVE YOU NOW✨🐥

I just watched your "How to Squat on a Smith machine" and "How to do a Good Morning" and you're easily one of my new favorite KZreadrs, I love how your intros are short because some KZreadrs talk to much at the beginning. I just subscribed, and I'm so excited.

Girlllll y’all should see me looking at the pictures on the machine trying to figure it out! Thanks for the video! ❤

This is sooo helpful! I’m going to the gym right now and is super overwhelmed, but this video made me feel more relieved. Thank you ❤

You gave me confidence to go beyond treadmills and elliptical . I can now go and try the machines without any anxiety ❤😊

You are a gem for making these videos. I've always been intimated by the gym and stuck to bootcamps/martial arts but I impulsively joined one with my brother last week who's also a newbie and this is so helpful. New subscriber from Australia 🫶🏼

I know how it feels going to the gym Specially filming a video cause people like to Stare , so thank you so much cause you're a life saver 💗💛❤

This is a life safer❤ i just started in the gym last week. I was cinfused as hell with all the machines but this videi gave me so much confidence. Thank you❤🙏❤️

Thank you for creating this video it's been super helpful!

okay this is literally so helpful i am on the VERGE of tears. I've wanted to work out so much but like idk how to use anything at the gym so ive stuck with home stuff, but i only have such limited equipment. I am always tagging along with my guy friend and looking stupid since none of my other girlfriends want to workout (with me). I found a new friend and we are both so clueless. This helps literally so much thank you so much I wish I saw more of these!!

I just started at the gym and there are so many new machines since I was in gym before and I was trying to see someone use the assisted pull up machine (which I learned from your other video) but I didn’t want to be a “creep”. I am super happy you made these videos so I can learn. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to watch more.

Thank you for this, it’s super helpful! Would you be willing to do a video on the pros/cons/differences between free weights, machines, and barbells in routines? There are a lot of ways to do the same exercise (chest press, for example) and it can get overwhelming to know when to “level up” either on weight or when to try a new way to do the same exercise.
