J. Owen Grundy Park Jersey City NJ

 On a beautiful Saturday morning, the FIT STREET class was held outside on Exchange Place JC, right on a pier with an amazing view of Manhattan. The atmosphere was absolutely perfect, with a cool breeze blowing in and the warm temperature of the sun shining down on us. It was the ideal setting for a great workout.

As the class progressed, I noticed that some of the participants seemed to be uncomfortable with the presence of others who were walking around and observing the class. Some even seemed to be bothered by others taking videos of the class. This is common reaction that many people have when they feel like they are being watched or judged.

However, it's important to recognize that this kind of discomfort is a natural response, and it's something that can be overcome with practice. When we're exercising in public, it's normal to feel self-conscious or vulnerable. We worry that others might be judging us, or that we might not be  performing as well as we would like.

But the truth is, most people are too busy with their own lives to pay much attention to what we're doing. And those who are watching are likely just admiring our hard work and dedication. In fact, seeing others exercise can be a great motivator to keep going and push ourselves to do better.

So, rather than letting the fear of judgment hold us back, it's important to embrace the experience and use it to grow and improve. By practicing in public, we can build our confidence and overcome our fears. We can learn to focus on our own performance and let go of the need for external validation.

Overall, the FIT STREET class held outside on Exchange Place JC was a great success. It was a wonderful opportunity to exercise in a beautiful setting and enjoy the benefits of fresh air and sunshine. And for those who felt uncomfortable with the presence of others, it was a chance to practice overcoming their fears and becoming more confident in themselves.
