Show up to the gym on your first day with a bucket in your hand...this will send a clear message to the muscle heads that you mean business...you're ready to train - HARD! (I would even wax down for the first day too.....This will help with the - "Ladies") On the serious side you could try to find an exercise buddy. Find someone else of a similar fitness level to train with, and who is expecting you to meet them at a certain time and place, and then you are more likely to commit to training times that you've scheduled in your diary. If you do go with an Exercise buddy, I would go with someone extremely unfit....you need to look like an Athlete at all times - this will help with this.
