Just go. You can't better yourself if you feel scared or embarrassed. Your trainer will be happy that you're working toward you again, not be upset that you didn't go.

Hey, I just started to go to the gym after 3 years of being a couch potato (I was also ill and in hospital so that didn't help). I think running is a great activity to start off, and I'd definitely recommend this program I started, called The Couch to 5k Running Plan. It's free and easy, just takes commitment and consistency. Here's a link:

It's really okay, we all have ups and downs in our lives. The main thing is that you want to start training again and that's what matters. Don't let fear hold you back from reaching your full potential! (I've been there) Best of luck :)

I sincerely doubt your trainer is going to think you are a quitter and a loser. Unless you are a professsional sportsman or athelete then fitness regimes are something we have to undertake in our free time. And the older we get the less free time we tend to have. Other commitments and activities eat into it more and more. Tell your trainer that you don't seem to have had a minute to call your own lately. But you want to get back in top form because you've really noticed the difference since the training has stopped. He or she will know where you're coming from and know what you're saying. They won't condemn you and think you're a loser. You're being hard on yourself I think? Nobody can be in two places at once!
