I found having to actually go to the gym was a huge hurdle for me so I bought a 200lb set of adjustable dumbbells and a foldable weight bench for at home. It’s nice because if I get lost in something and forget to work out until later I can still do something on the spot. If I had room I’d buy a full weight set but I’d need a house for that. If you don’t want to spend money or don’t have space there’s also a lot of bodyweight stuff you can do at home.
I started off with a routine I got online. I thought it was off the fitness Reddit but I can’t find it now. This one is fairly close to what I do when I’m just maintaining- https://old.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/2e79y4/dumbbell_ppl_proposed_alternative_to_dumbbell/. As I’ve progressed I’ve adjusted different things to mix things up or to focus on particular muscles. You can find a lot of videos on youtube that show you how to do different exercises, but make sure to get more than one opinion on things before you take just one persons word for something. There is a lot of bad info floating around out there.
The dumbell set was from the brand Yes4all I got off Amazon, at the time they were a good price but I couldn’t say now after Covid made everything more expensive. Also pick up some gloves. Your hands will thank you.

Could you provide more info? Any specific workout routine?
