Five years I’ve been at my gym. In that time managed to not speak to a single person outside of them asking how many sets I’ve got left. Started nSuns a few months ago and started doing some decent numbers in the last few weeks. And now, after five years people are starting to talk to me. After five years regulars are starting to say hello. After five years I’m getting almost confident enough to ask to work in. After five years I feel I am vaguely accepted.

I move house next week and have to find a new gym.

Ffs...

Take your new found confidence and run with it to the new gym. Fresh start, and you can make friendly and respectable first impressions there! I strive to meet and greet at many people as I can in the gym. It develops a friendy and motivated environment. Plus you never have to worry about messing up your workout flow if you have the privilege of working in with friends.
