You Don’t Need to ‘Get in Shape’ Before Going to a Workout Class”

If you’ve ever said, “I’ll join that workout class once I’m in better shape”… you’ve got it backward.

In this episode, I break down the flawed logic behind waiting to be “fit enough” before joining a fitness class. Whether it’s bootcamps, yoga, HIIT, or cycle — group fitness is built for all levels, and your progress depends on showing up, not waiting to be perfect.

We’ll cover:

  • The real purpose of fitness classes (hint: not perfection)
  • Why saying “I’m not ready yet” is rooted in fear, not fact
  • How instructors and environments are built to support you
  • What actually happens when you walk into a class underprepared (spoiler: it’s not a disaster)

This is your sign to stop letting fear win — and start moving forward.
