Theres a stack of fresh and clean towels to use, there were about 5 girls and one guy there, they all looked to be in better shape than me, obviously. ;p

They had about 6 - 8 of each machine. tons of weights, lots of T.V's and you get a free class or whatever I suppose but seems like they take place when i'm not available.

Guy said it's typically busiest right after 5pm as everyone gets off thier day jobs, so I may check in to how it looks at 9-10am or so.

I think i'll go back tomorrow with some clothes more suited to breaking a sweat and have at it.
That sounds like a good option to me. Good luck!

As far as looking like an idiot goes, I wouldn't suggest just walking in there and picking up stuff unless you have some experience. Either pick up a book and read or get a personal trainer to help you learn the exercises and work out a plan. You don't have to work with a personal trainer all the time but I find it's helpful to meet with one at least once to make sure you're doing things right.
