    Hi @nem I was in a similar position last year of wanting to try different classes etc. I found if I knew someone that was going id stay with them and go with them. By doing this it helped with my anxiety of going too.
    Now ill go without having someone I know going with me.

    What is it about the classes/exercise that your scared of?

    Love the sound of this @nem - it's so valid to feel excited as well as a little bit scared when we're doing something new!

    I'd like to echo @Lottie5433 's question there - what about the classes feels scary at the moment?

    We're here to talk it through with you!

    How do you mean, @nem ? You're feeling anxious that a guy might text you when you're in the middle of one of the exercise classes?

    You're doing well to talk about this, and you don't have to go through this alone. I wonder what feeling anxious tends to look like for you in some of the hardest moments?
