I’ve been working out consistently for almost 2 years and wouldn’t say I “enjoy” it. As others said, make it a habit and set a reasonable expectation. I was pushing myself to go 5 days a week but once lowering that to 4 days a week it felt more manageable. My gym is class-based and having accountability from trainers and regulars has helped me significantly.

I’ve never been someone who says that the gym is like a version of therapy for me, reduces stress/anxiety, etc. However, feeling stronger has been a great feeling.
