Additional helpful  information:
Wear tennis shoes and athletic clothing (long pants, leggings or tights are recommended to avoid rink rash).

Prior skating experience is awesome, but not a requirement.  

A high level of physical fitness is not necessary, only the willingness to improve.   Extra exercise and/or training will benefit you as an athlete.  It is recommended that you:

Visit open skates to get acquainted with your skater legs

Go outside!  Skate in parking lots, on paved trails, tennis courts and/or concrete pads.

Work on exercises that target and strengthen the quads and hamstrings, i.e., one leg balancing, squats, lunges, and donkey kicks.  

Do sit ups and squats.  Lots of them.  Build up your core and leg muscles.

Shopping:
There are several websites that offer rookie packages where you can get your complete setup (required gear and skates) for a couple hundred bucks.  These are just a few sites:
