If you're looking at becoming a member of an indoor range try to make sure that it's well ventilated.
As far as non tactical ranges ?
I'll avoid the FUD ranges.
My favorite in SoCal is FT3. You're able to earn. The right to holster draw. I had a trainer one day and was allowed to break the 1 shot per second rule. 20 rounds in 11 seconds in a pie plate while the target is coming at you from 25 yards is good training

An N95 mask and handwashing should deal with lead, even if you’re spending a lot of lot of time at an indoor range, I think?
One reason I will keep my membership at the unattended range is that on the occasions when I am the only one there (like midday, sometimes) I can draw five 3” circles on the back of a target and try rapid fire. Admittedly I’m not “rapid” enough to break the 1/sec rule but a boy can always hope. As long as I’m getting my shots in or nearly in the circles, I think I’m being safe.
