Gymtrovert

For an introvert or a neurodivergent person, walking through the door may feel like the hardest part of the workout. Martin Cosgrove knows the feeling. He spent years lifting weights at home before learning to train around other people. In this expanded edition of Gymtrovert, he brings his personal story together with practical ways to find a gym, get started, build strength and make a routine fit your life. You'll find a first-month guide, simple training plans, words to use when you need help or a piece of equipment, options for busy gyms and lower-energy days, and twenty clearly marked tips for neurodivergent readers. There are also twelve affordable high-protein meals, reflections on confidence and body image, and eighteen conversations from the original edition. You do not have to become louder, more outgoing or perfectly consistent to belong in a gym. Start where you are and find a way to train that works for you.
