I haven't gone to a gym since I was a teenager.
You might want to check out exercises you can do at home for free, using what you have at home to assist you with weight loss-
http://www.freetrainers.com/FT/jsp/index.jsp This is free, and a trainer actually develops a routine based on what you want- if you workout at home, they give you exercises to do at home using items you already have in your house such as cans of soup or a broom. Most of the exercises have pictures as to how to do them.
This also is a tremendous help:
http://www.shapefit.com/training.html#15 Just keep clicking on the links, until you find exercises you can do from home. They have videos on how to do most of these exercises just by clicking on the exercise link, so you know you're doing it properly.
Another great site, that has videos to show you how to perform exercises:
