Gym recs for someone who has never worked out before?

Hi all. I’m looking for recommendations on what gym to go to as someone who has never really step foot in a gym before and never sticks to working out at home. For context, I’m overweight and know absolutely nothing about gyms, machines, or specific workouts.
That being said I would love someplace affordable that might also offer personal trainer trial options just to get myself going? Not really looking for a gym that has a super intense gymrat vibe either, kinda looking for a place where beginners are welcome. I was thinking planet fitness but I’ve heard mixed reviews about the one on Lombard and I’m also concerned about having to pay for parking there too.
Also point blank just want to be in a place as well where I feel safe as a young woman.
TIA!
