I can cancel the subscription monthly, which is a big plus for me, as I'm not so wealthy at this stage of my life.

Might be not much in the short-term, but it's a step forward.

I'm struggling with stress in regards going to new places that I don't know, my fight/flight responses are triggered then;

But I went yesterday and I was fine. First active step is taken, I got my foot into the gym :)

Nice to hear! I know the stress you talk about, it will be triggered less and less once you get used to the place :)

Especially at a gym it can feel like "performing" and being judged, but really everybody is doing and thinking about their own thing.

If it's too overwhelming you can always step back, take a break and watch the others, you'll see everyone is on his own journey in there!
