Feel uncomfortable at the gym?
You want to feel stronger and fitter. But if you feel uncomfortable at the gym, getting started can be hard. A welcoming space and personal guidance can make that first step easier.
Why do I feel uncomfortable at the gym?
A busy gym can feel overwhelming. Perhaps you are unsure how the equipment works or which exercises to choose. Or you feel watched and compare yourself with experienced gym-goers. Sometimes, the atmosphere of a large, mixed gym simply does not suit you.
Common worries include:
- Am I doing this exercise correctly?
- Are other people looking at me?
- Where should I start?
- What if I am not fit enough?
As a result, you may put off exercising, even when you really want to go. Fortunately, you do not have to work everything out alone.
You do not need to be fit to start
Every woman starts somewhere. You exercise to become stronger and fitter, so there is no fitness test at the door. Instead, a coach can help you find exercises that suit your body, goals and experience.
If you feel uncomfortable at the gym, start small. For example, try one guided session before committing to a routine. Feeling welcome matters just as much as finding the right workout.
A women-only gym where you can be yourself
bbb health boutique was founded by women, for women. Our small, welcoming boutiques combine exercise with personal coaching in body, food and mind.
Personal attention, without comparison
At bbb, only women work and exercise. There are no mirrors or views into the boutique from outside. Instead, female coaches help you focus on how you feel and what you want to achieve.
Whether you are new to exercise, recently became a mother or are going through menopause, your healthy journey starts with you.
Your own warm cabin
Our hot cabins offer your own space to move. The cabin warms to around 40°C, while your head stays outside the heated area. Many exercises are done lying down, and many workouts take just 30 minutes.
In addition, you can explore workouts such as yoga, Pilates and strength training. Together, we find a way of moving that fits your life.
Privacy and a warm welcome
Our boutiques offer a calm, personal atmosphere. For example, our Amsterdam location has private shower cubicles. Above all, exercise should feel like time for yourself.

Begin your healthy journey
You do not need a training plan before you arrive. Start with what you want: more strength, energy, confidence or a healthy routine.
Recovery and exercise with physical complaints
bbb is also here for women who want to work on recovery and rehabilitation or exercise with physical complaints, such as a herniated disc, rheumatism or a frozen shoulder. During your intake, we discuss your symptoms and what you can manage. Your coach adapts the exercises and progression to your needs. For medical complaints, we coordinate guidance with your physiotherapist or treating clinician where needed.
Start with personal guidance in Amsterdam or Utrecht
You do not need to get fitter before joining bbb. Our coaches discuss your experience and goals and help you learn exercises at your own level. Explore our women-only gym in Amsterdam or women-only gym in Utrecht, or choose another boutique.
Try a free personal session of 45 minutes
A free personal trial session lasts 45 minutes and includes an intake, a tailored workout and a conversation afterwards. Prefer a hot cabin group class? Each group class has one trial place, allowing time for your personal intake and outtake. Your baby is welcome at every personal workout. To attend a class with a friend, you can each buy and book an Intro Class.
Start with a free trial session
During your first visit, we explore three questions:
- Where are you now?
- What would you like to achieve?
- What realistically fits your life?
Then we map out your first steps together. After all, a manageable routine is easier to keep up than an ambitious plan that leaves you overwhelmed.
There is no need to become a member straight away. Our mission is to empower all women, so we want you to leave with useful guidance, whatever you decide.
Book a free trial session in Amersfoort, Amsterdam, Delft, The Hague, Den Bosch, Tilburg, Haarlem, Rotterdam or Utrecht. You do not have to feel stronger or more confident before you walk in. That is what you can come here to work on.
