Default Thanks

Really appreciate all of the thoughtful answers.

I think, based upon the advice, I'll draft someone I know to help me with form, etc. at first vs. going with one of the Y trainers who don't seem all that good (I see them following women around from weight machine to weight machine with a clipboard), look into the squat rack situation and learn to manage the length of the barbell.

And the advice to use the hallway or other rooms is a good one , we do have a hallway area with mats, stability balls, etc.

Can't wait to get started with NROLW. I got into going to the gym when I quit smoking 2 1/2 months ago to control weight gain/keep my mind sane. Started with cardio which was great for managing withdrawal symptoms, but I started noticing big changes in my body once I added weights and cleaned up my diet. I've gone from zero pushups to ten in just the past month!
