Joining an MMA Gym tomorrow. I'm nervous?

Relax. You are not the first person to ever do something new. So just go. If you are comfortable wearing your clothes there that is OK. If you are more comfortable changing there that is OK too. There are no rules how to do things. Whatever make you more comfortable. At this point don't add unnecessary stress. Just go and have fun and you will pick up everything along the way. Once you are in class none of this stuff will matter anymore anyway.

No need to be nervous. Normal kit means t shirt and shorts, yes. Something easy and comfortable to move around in. Carry a change of clothes cause you will be sweaty after. Nope, mma is normally done barefoot. Good luck man!

The chief instructor assured me that i dont need any martial arts background. I'm having a free trial session tomorrow. I'm incredibly motivated to turn up tomorrow regardless of how nervous i am. I'm 17 and I have no experience in any form of martial arts and combat sports.

I've been asked to wear a normal kit. By saying normal gym kit, do i wear a t shirt and shorts? Do I wear it whilst going to the gym? Or do i wear my normal clothes and carry it in a bag? Also do i need to wear trainers?
