New gym goer & gym buddy

Hi everyone! I’m not really one to post and definitely not one to reach out for this sort of thing, but I could use some advice/help.

I’m new to the gym, as in I have no clue how to work out, and am intimidated to go alone. So much so, I’ve had my membership for months and haven’t gone (I know, it’s a waste). I’m literally sitting in the gym parking lot watching videos of workouts (stalling) and trying to work up the nerve to just go in.

Idk if it’s some social anxiety even though I consider myself pretty social, or if it’s pride and I just don’t want to look like an idiot, but how did you guys do it? I don’t have any local friends to invite and a majority of them would be just as clueless as me.

Would anyone want to help a girl out? lol I don’t care if this comes off desperate, I want to get healthy for myself.

TLDR: anyone want a newbie gym buddy for Fontana, CA? 🥺
