Should I go ahead and join the gym?

I know this sounds dumb. like yeah obviously i should. But I just moved towns and started a new job at a warehouse doing order filling, which has got me on my feet all day. I start at 7am and don’t get off till about 6-8pm, M-F. This has me averaging 10-11k steps a day (a huge step up and change from my prior average of about 1-3k on work days). And from this of course, i’m very tired and sore (i’ve even had to start wearing a wrist brace bc of possible carpal tunnel syndrome) when I get home after work and usually will just eat and go to bed since i gotta get up early the next day to do it all again.

One of things i was most excited about moving to this town was finally being somewhere with a gym. I’ve looked into crunch fitness and it seems like a good fit for me bc i’d like to focus more on weight training, plus they have group classes like zumba which seem fun. I just am worried I might over work myself and get hurt/injured. i’m already pissed bc of my wrist/hand being this way and i’ve only been at this job for 2 weeks. (again, i know this sounds stupid, but i guess i’m just looking for someone to tell me to stop being scared and complaining and to do it anyway).

For reference and if it’s of any importance: F, 22, HW:320 lbs, CW: 230 lbs, 5’4” -my goals are to lose weight primarily but get stronger in the long run. i’ve been adjusting my diet accordingly and know about counting calories/macros, etc. that’s helped me lose this first good amount of weight in the last few years.
