One fairly consistent thing about people is that they love to teach others what they know. Don't go up to the guy who looks like he's on his was to the World's Strongest Man competition, but find someone who looks like they're in pretty good shape, tell them you're new and haven't really worked out in a gym before, and ask if they could give you some pointers. Just don't be the creep who goes around flexing and asking women to spot for him on free weights and you'll be fine.
The biggest thing you need to do is cardio. You don't look like you need to lose weight, but if your heart is in good shape it paves the way for the rest of you to get in shape.

Ugh. The school gym here requires you to wipe down machines after each use, and has paper towel dispensers and bottles of non-toxic/hypoallergenic sanitizing spray everywhere. They have a clause in the contract stating that they can cancel your membership if you don't clean machines immediately after use.
