Gym Gear

For the first time in my life I am considering going to look around a gym with the intention of going along two or three times a week to get fit for summer and wedding.

Is someone able to recommend reasonably stylish gym wear and something suitable but cheap for the feet?

I'll just be doing a few machines and things. I don't want to look like a lumpy geek.
