Actually, I talked to a friend, female, who didn't like going to gyms because she felt intimidated. So she's out of shape and wants to workout, but doesn't really know how to other than to jog on the treadmill.
But she said walking into a gym looked like all these guys were doing their workouts like they were all on a team and everything was kind of coordinated. I told her, everyone is not working out as a group. It's like everyone has a plan when they go in, usually, and you share equipment or wait or do some other exercise. But to her, it appeared like all the dudes were like worker bees or something and it all seemed like they knew what they were doing and she felt like a fish out of water and if she wanted to work out on a machine or use a piece of equipment, she felt like that was going to disrupt what appeared to be a coordinated team exercise. Never really thought about it like that. I told her, well, you just ask if any one is using a piece of equipment, if not, then use it. If they say yes, then just look around for something else similar.
