The MOST important thing you've learned...

As a female the free weights section won't bite. Neither will the males there.

That was my biggest fear in going to the gym. Being watched or scorned by the males at the gym because I was a female and just starting out. I'm sure somewhere there are some jerks that will act like that, but where I go everyone is super nice. The men will help if I ask for someone to spot me and actually respect the fact that I'm a woman who's getting into lifting. If I have a question on form they answer it without talking down to me. It's great.

Sadly, there will always be the occasional jerk. As an male shorter than 99% of adult males, I have experienced a fair share of disrespect as if I'm not good enough to be in weight room with them. I've learned to simply ignore it and do my own thing. Joke's on them.
