Most good gyms have a smith machine, where the bar is connected within steel rails, for added safety.
This will prepare you for when you're ready to do them on a squat rack.
I think one of the main reasons why some people avoid doing squats is because they are afraid of risking the chance of getting injured.
But if you know how to do them correctly, not only will it increase muscle mass in your lower body, but it will do them same for your upper body.
It doesn't matter whether you want to lose weight, build muscle or increase strength, squatting will help you achieve each of these goals as long as you stay consistent and aim to lift heavy often.
I wouldn't recommend doing squats more than twice a week. Like any weight lifting exercise you do, your muscles need time to grow. So recover is essential.
If you keep exercising the same muscles every day, you're not giving them time to recover and could do some damage if your not careful.
If you're a skinny guy and you want to build muscle, a good start would be to do five sets of five, at your body weight. Once you can get to a stage where you can lift your own body weight, you can gradually increase the weight as you get comfortable lifting heavier.
It's a big achievement when you know you can lift more than your own body weight. That's how you know you are getting stronger each week.
When you can lift heavier weight each week, you will feel inspired so that you look forward to your next squat session.
