Description

Are you too nervous to walk into a fitness class? Do you feel like group workouts just aren't made for people like you?

In this episode of the Not So Typical Fitness Podcast, I’m breaking down why typical exercise classes can feel overwhelming—especially if you're neurodivergent, anxious, or completely new to the gym. I’ll also walk you through the exact questions you can ask to find out if a class is the right fit for you.

This isn’t just a pep talk—it’s an action plan.


Plus, I’ll share what makes my own class at JD Gyms Wolverhampton different, safer, and genuinely welcoming for beginners who usually feel left out of the fitness space.

You don’t have to be fearless to start—just supported.
And I’ve got you.
