Should I Join a Gym or Stick to Home Workouts?

Newbie

Hi! I'm a 27F currently at 150 lbs — down from 175 lbs through a calorie deficit and intermittent fasting (OMAD). My goal is to reach 110 lbs eventually.

For the past 10 days, I’ve been consistently walking 10k steps every morning, and I’ve honestly started to love it. Now I want to add strength training 3x a week to help tone up — especially my arms, core, and glutes.

I already have 2kg dumbbells and a yoga mat at home, so I could definitely start there. But I’ve been thinking about getting a gym membership too. The thing is:

  1. I have zero idea how to use gym equipment.
  2. I get overwhelmed easily — I’d honestly prefer to be in my own little bubble when working out. 😅
