I've never signed up for a gym, and don't know the first thing about the customs that rule the place. So, I guess here's a question to start with: do normal gyms have workout trainers I could pay to get guidance from? Or do I just ignore everyone and try to follow the SS book to the best of my abilities.

Question #2: are all gyms created equal, should I 'shop' around for a decent one with decent equipment or whatever, or just join the 'snap fitness' gym that is literally 2 minute walk away from my place of residence?

Okay, so I'll bite.

The main reason I never hit the gym was/is because I'm too embarrassed to be seen exercising by others. Interestingly, my problem is that I'm too thin (with a bmi of 18 now) so my goal was/is to become both stronger and huger.

How about if I get this machine (or something like it): http://eatinggreat.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/MACHINE-WE... Could I then be fine following the SS book you mention with it?
