Is there someone at the gym (a staff person, trainer) who you could talk to? My job has a fitness center and I got an evaluation when I first joined and he walked me through the weight machines and told me what each one does…
As far as free weights vs. the machine, when I’m on my own, I’ll use the machines, but I also take a spin/circuit class and the instructor has us on the machines and using dumbbells for drills.
I believe that either the machines or the free weights will accomplish the same thing. I prefer the machines…If you’re trying to do as many muscle groups as you can on one machine, then the leg press will take care of your lower body and the chin/pull will take care of the upper. Let me know if you want to target a certain area, maybe I could point you in the right direction. Hope this helps…
