    Best way to learn how to use weights is to look at YouTube videos so you can watch the techniques done properly as it's hard to explain how to do things writing them down. And don't be nervous, people in gyms don't really pay attention to anyone else so don't feel self conscious

    Ask for a tour.

    Book a couple of personal training sessions.

    Go at non-peak times so you won't feel self-conscious or have to fight for benches or equipment.

    Bring your exercise book or descriptions with you. If it helps, record the descriptions on your phone or iPod and play them to yourself as you're exercising. There's a lot to focus on at the start.

    You're very welcome. As you know, some of the people by whom you're intimidated were in the same position as you. If you need to lose weight, find a program that works for you. As someone else said, most people in the gym are there to get in their workout and get out. They're not focused on others.
