First class today!

Hi all - I’m 46F and in decent but not amazing shape. I’ve been out of the gym for a few months due to work travel and family illness, but was previously doing strength training 2x per week, some light running and Pilates. I’ve gained a few pounds back and lost some confidence.

I went to my first OT class this morning and it was a class with “partners” which I was not quite prepared for. I was super intimidated and worried I would let down my partners, but the instructor was awesome and the class was challenging but fun. It didn’t feel competitive which was nice.

I signed up for a month and am looking forward to going back. I’m not sure this can or should replace my personal training sessions and I don’t want to give up Pilates but I loved how I was so busy working out that I didn’t notice the time.

As I start my journey - is there anything you wish you knew when you got started?
