What’s 1st - Fitted for clubs or lessons?

I have an old set of clubs from a family member. I’ve played a few times recently with guys from the office and would like to get into it more. Should I invest in nice clubs now or take lessons with crappy clubs that may not be the best fit?

How crappy? What are they?

Lessons first or you’ll be buying clubs twice.

Unless the clubs are a comically bad fit for you, but an instructor would be able to tell you that.

Lessons.

Lessons for sure..

This is an important first question. If they are decent go the lessons route. If they are 1983 blades and a persimmon driver, you need new, more forgiving clubs. But I wouldn't get fit, just troll FB marketplace

Buy a used set of clubs that are in good condition and are forgiving if current ones are too old. New clubs wont help you play better if you don't have a good foundation

lessons first, regardless. But a set of starter clubs shouldn't set you back too much. Look for an entry level set of clubs from Tour Edge or similar.

Before all this "being fit" nonsense, golf survived for decades on picking stuff up off the shelf and having fun.
Get fit when it's your clubs holding you back from shooting lower and not you.

Lessons 1st, unless you are a single digit handicap who has a very consistent swing. If that is the case, get fitted.

because it wasn't a thing, there is no reason to not do something if it makes the game easier just because it didn't exist before.

Lessons first. If your irons are that bad buy a used 6 or 7 Iron.

the important parts are finding shafts that fit your speed and tempo (and of course length/lie). If you have played enough that your swing speed is decent and you dont plan on doing much speed training, now is a good time to get fitted.
If you are still doing a baseball swing with a 50 yard slice, wait.

Use the crap until you're firmly committed and have some kind of feedback in your game to go off of. The amount of folks that spend a fortune outfitting a bag because "they're getting into it" and end up not playing but twice a year is astounding .... Just my .02
