I have been working out at http://prepareforperformance.com in rockville. I know it is not in Rockville but very welcoming and have seen my weight drop and inches comes off with in 3 months. They incorporate strength training, mobility/stability/flexibility work, and cardio/fitness. A lot of ladies there as well. All shapes and sizes. I would highly recommend.

My yoga studio is fairly community-based (chatty) and very intense, but there are people of all shapes and sizes and ages.

People at all levels fitness. Good classes and trainers. One trainer I had was also a PT assistant and was excellent. Never feels self conscious there.
Another vote for Rock Creek Sports Club. Never felt like anyone was judging me in any way.
Vote 3!

I also agree the larger gyms tend to be good for everyone. Maybe visit a few and see if you feel comfortable. If there is a planet fitness, they are geared towards the not so in shape folks. There are some really in shape people, but there are tons of less in shape folks.
Planet Fitness is good about setting up a routine for you and teaching you how to use the equipment.
