Fear in Fitness - Breaking Down the Mental Barriers

• Mariah Jean

Ever stood at the gym door, heart racing - and not from exercise? You're not alone.
In today's raw and real conversation, we're diving deep into the fears that hold so many of us back from embracing movement.

In this episode, we explore:

The paralysing fear of injury and how it affects our movement patterns
Why "perfect form" anxiety might be sabotaging your progress
The all-too-familiar feeling of being watched (spoiler: everyone's too focused on their own workout!)
Breaking free from the "I'm not fit enough to get fit" paradox
How past trauma shapes our relationship with team sports
Running into people we'd rather not see at the gym
Practical strategies to build confidence and overcome exercise anxiety

Whether you've been avoiding the weights room, feeling out of place in team sports, or telling yourself you're "just not athletic," this episode is your sign to start where you are.
If you've ever felt like the fitness world wasn't built for you, this conversation might just change everything 🎧
