Show Up, Stay You: 6-Week Gym Confidence Programme

Confidence doesn’t come first; it comes with practice. If the gym feels overwhelming, you’re not broken. You just need support that understands you.

Why the Gym Feels So Hard

For many of us, walking into the gym isn’t about laziness or lack of motivation; it’s about anxiety, overwhelm, and uncertainty.

Maybe you’ve thought:

  • “Everyone will stare at me.”

  • “I’ll just embarrass myself.”

  • “I’ve tried before and failed.”

You’re not alone. The truth is, confidence doesn’t magically appear before you start; it grows because you start, one step at a time.

That’s exactly what Show Up, Stay You is here to help you do.

What This Gym Confidence Programme Is About

Show Up, Stay You is a 6-week group and guided programme created to help you:

  • Feel calmer and more confident in gym spaces

  • Manage overwhelm and sensory overload

  • Build realistic, flexible routines

  • Learn gentle strategies that work with your neurodivergent brain

  • Finally start enjoying movement without judgment or pressure

This isn’t a bootcamp or a fitness challenge. It’s a supportive space to build emotional and practical confidence at your pace.

Created by Rhiannon Cooper, a neurodivergent personal trainer who understands what gym anxiety really feels like.

How It Works

6-Week Journey

Here’s what we’ll cover inside Show Up, Stay You:

Week Theme Focus
1 Calm the Overwhelm Manage anxiety & sensory overload
2 Find Your Space Build comfort in your environment
3 First Steps in Action Create a repeatable mini routine
4 Building Confidence Keep showing up, even on low days
5 Owning Your Progress Recognise wins without numbers
6 Confidence for the Long-Term Reflect, reset, and prepare for the new year

By the end of six weeks, you won’t just feel more confident but you’ll have a toolkit for calm, sustainable progress.

You don’t need to change everything overnight.

Confidence starts with small steps and a space where you can show up as yourself.

That’s exactly what we’ll do together inside Show Up, Stay You.

Why I Created This

Hi, I’m Rhiannon; an autistic, ADHD personal trainer who used to cancel gym inductions because of panic attacks.

I know what it feels like to want to change your life but freeze the moment you step into the gym. That’s why I built Show Up, Stay You, to give you the space, structure, and support I wish I’d had.

Because you don’t need to be confident to start; you just need to start, and keep showing up as you.
