We wanted to find out why gymtimidation is on the rise and the top reasons why people avoid going to the gym or exercising in general. 

The most significant contributor to not going to the gym was that almost two in five people stated they felt self-conscious about their appearance, with more than one in four saying they were worried that people would judge their fitness levels. 

The research also revealed that 21.7% of people stated they had a lack of motivation, followed closely by a lack of time (20.2%), and 15.1% of people were unsure how to use the machines.
