I want to start going to the gym, since after several months of depression, where I barely did anything that wasn't laying down and feeling sorry for myself, I'm left very physically weak.
I want to call this gym I have nearby, it has some good reviews and is very chill, usually empty at the hours I'f like to go (morning-midday). When I call, what kind of stuff should I ask about, besides the price? Is there any sort of "gym etiquette" I should follow? Any other tips?

just ask them if it 24/7 and or opening hours.
I would just start going a few times to suss the place out, but i find that most gyms are quite welcoming and most trainers/other gym goers quite helpful.
(unless you are super smelly disheveled rude individual which i doubt you are)
after you have gone a few times and you like it you should probably ask one of the trainers what to do to geta membership.
It is usally cheaper in the long run and will help you to force yourself to go more often.
all the best!

That sounds good, thanks anon. I hope this gym turns out to be nice, I don't have any others within walking distances
>Is there any sort of "gym etiquette" I should follow?
Basic common courtesy mostly. Re-rack weights. Bring a towel to wipe off your sweat. If you need to grunt while lifting that's fine, just don't go crazy and scream from the top of your lungs. Use your judgement, there's no real distinction between being a normal courteous person in normal life and at the gym.
