Hi and thanks for stopping by
!
Yeah--my gym has its share of those, too. When I was first visiting it, deciding whether to join, I told the rep that I'd feel uncomfortable in a fitness class filled with teeny-boppers and she looked at me really weird...but I have these intensely unpleasant memories of joining an aerobics class in college that was absolutely filled with college girls, half of them probably cheerleaders and ALL of them more fit and more coordinated than I was. It was humiliating!
Luckily, my gym now also has its share of "normal" people, too. And when I see those college guys, I remind myself that they're comparing themselves with each other and could care less about someone like me....
