Need a really cheap gym? Try out a college?

I'm not embarrassed, having not given a shat what people thought about me for quite some time now.
There's just no point in having a gym membership if I don't know how to use anything.

I don't really want to be around a bunch of fit, good-looking people, to be honest.
My self-esteem issues are severe enough as-is.

And as far as the other people in the gym, well, I'm not their problem, and they're not mine. I put in headphones with anime music, and just do whatever I want. It's a gym, it's a place to become healthier, it's not anything else, and it's not a meat market where I'm there to impress chicks or whatever.
I think that's the environment FitnessPlanet tries to create, actually- one of non-intimidation.
When I was at the Y, I felt really awkward, and people there weren't very friendly, except for one class instructor who verbally harassed me in front of everyone. I never went into the room with the machines at all, because the door was at the front where you had to walk past everyone to enter, I didn't know how any of the machines worked, and everyone in there looked like a Calvin Klein model. Maybe FP will turn out to be the same way? At least I won't be charged triple the amount for it.
