hello /fit/
im gonna start off by saying that i am incredibly autismo and have slight agorophobia.
i've been browsin for a month.
decided to start calisthenics for a bit of confidence and because no money.
i finally got into some cash today and i will be joining a gym.
could you please tell me how to behave in the gym?
things that i need covered

>>what sort of towel do i bring? big? small? simple? with an imprint?
Small one, around 1m length
>>are pool shorts and a loose fitting shirt adecuate for the gym?
Sports wear, choose what you want
>>do i wipe the machines with the same towel i wipe my face with?
Sometimes there are paper towels
>>do i bring a change of clothes?
If you use public transport, yes. Otherwise it's not needed if you shower at home

I think the biggest thing to keep in mind when first joining a gym, /especially/ if you're nervous, is to remember that no one in the gym is paying attention to you, or looking at how much you lift, or wondering if you belong, etc. etc. Honestly, everyone is just there to get their pump on and go home. Don't let it get to you.
Your workout time is yours. You share the gym with others, so be courteous, but as long as it's appropriate, wear clothes that are comfortable to you, bring a towel if you'll want to use it, and just dont' sweat it too much.
Best of luck to you.

Bigger the towel the bigger your gonads, is like a threat display thing, bigger towels means you're a tougher guy
Wouldn't wear pool shorts as the net material inside might go really tight when you squat and make it uncomfy and restricting which has happened to me
Yeah sweats sweat it's fine to use the same towel tho you might pick up someone else's sweat whose not wiped down along the way
Maybe change of top and undies
