First, fix the incorrectly spelled words - you wrote "pendemic", "planing" and "begining". Then split it into two sentences, separated by a full stop. Use relevant capitalisation as a result. You will also need to add a comma.

I like working out but I haven't been to the gym for six months because of this pandemic. I am planning on starting going to the gym beginning this month.

Where do I need to use comma?

You haven't used all the words you used in post #1. If you had used the one you missed, you would have needed the comma. Try again.

I didn't use that to break this phrase into two parts.

I think starting is not only redundant, but also wrong. You could say starting to go but beginning covers that.
