In Episode 12 of The Outlifting Lounge, Alan and Derec tackle the psychological hurdles of “Gymtimidation” that often keep LGBTQ+ men from reaching their fitness goals. We discuss how childhood PE trauma can resurface in adult gym environments and offer practical “survival strategies” to help you feel like you belong on the gym floor.

Before that though, we discuss progress on our New Year resolutions, and all the New Year telly that’s got us glued to the couch every evening. Mild spoiler warning for UK Traitors!
