You want to feel better in your body again. To take better care of it. But the gym has felt like a bit of an unfamiliar place for you.
You know logically people probably aren't judging you. But our emotions don't always listen to logic, do they? That's why you feel it in your body just thinking about taking the step.
I don't tell my clients nobody's judging them or looking at them. Because that's not what they need from me. They need someone who can assure them it's normal. Who gives them the tools to manage that anxiety. Who can help them build the drive to overcome the fears. Not just tell them logic they already understand. You might even be fearful of me judging you? What I'll say is all these fears are common when starting something new, and you aren't alone.
Resistance is normal when it comes to change. It's my job to help you move through it, and honestly, it's one of the things I think separates me from other coaches. I'm very interested in why we do what we do and how our emotions impact our behaviour.
I've coached countless men and women just like you, and I find it very rewarding. Some of my most thankful clients really struggled with gym anxiety, and overcoming it really helped them with their confidence overall in life.

Caroline's story, in her own words
Been working with coach Dermo for over a year now and absolutely loving it. When I started coaching my goals were to become stronger, confident and learn how to do weight training properly. I had gym anxiety and no interest in going to the gym on my own. Dermo changed my mindset! I am feeling a lot stronger, more confident and I am finally going to the gym on my own.
Marie Brunne
I started training with Dermo 3 months ago after years of inconsistency in the gym & trying different group classes. After only a few weeks I had the confidence to pick up heavy weights in the gym on my own which previously would have really intimidated me.
Stephanie Futerman
I've been training with Dermo for over three years. He is committed to overall well-being, consistently helping me challenge negative thoughts and build a healthier relationship with my body. His focus on both mental and physical strength has transformed my confidence and mindset.
Eils Corrigan
I came in recovering from a shoulder injury and was pretty anxious about getting hurt again. He was brilliant at explaining how my body works and how we could strengthen the right areas. I came in looking for a personal trainer and left with something closer to a full life coach.

There's a few options to fit you, and we can chat about what makes sense — no pressure, even if it's just a question.
