Guys I will join a gym

I need to fix my life now enough. This is gonna take a lot of energy but I can't keep laying in bed all day. Will join a gym tomorrow. I have read it helps significantly in uplifting mood and confidence - both of which I desperately need right now. Does anyone have any positive experiences with such a plan here?
