Thanks for the words of encouragement folks - had my first session yesterday evening.
Started small as per the suggestions/default stronglifts app weights (e.g. 20kg bar only for squats), only adding a bit of weight for the last set of the exercises where it felt i wasn't being pushed at all and form felt alright (bench and bb row, squats was plenty as i still had achey thighs from a rare weekend of walking and cycling a fair bit).
Humblebrag time - also paid £216 for a year's 24/7 membership, at Puregym (in Liverpool) - seems to be more than amply equipped for a novice like myself.
