Perhaps you should think about why you can't work out in a non-private space? No one is judging you. No one cares. Each person in the gym only cares about his or her own workout.

If you absolutely can't do the gym, you can run. You can go to yoga (another place where absolutely no one is judging you or even looking at you except the teacher).

As a powerlifter who's been going to various gyms religiously for years, I don't visibly judge anyone. Except people who use equipment egregiously wrong, or worse--people who don't put up their weights.
