hi... its great to see your interest towards fitness.. it is absolutely safe for you to join the gym.. i suggest start slow like picking light weights initially till you get used to and then go heavy.. do weight lifting 3 days a well and other 3 days you can do cardio/ swim/ jog/ dance/ play any sport like basket ball, badminton etc which will help to increase your height..just make sure you eat right food, avoid junk, fried, processed.. have fruits, nuts, salads etc and get enough rest..
