Thanks for the info on the freemotion equipment. I'll definitely give them a try. Today I tried to sign up for the equipment orientation, because as Lindsey said, I walk into the "free weight" room at the Y, and have no idea what half this stuff is, much less what it's for or how to use it. The front desk didn't understand what I was asking for, and tried to sign me up for a 12 week program (which, from the brochure, looks to be all on machines of one sort or another). I found what I wanted in another brochure after I got home, so tomorrow I'll see if I can sign up for an equipment orientation, and I might go for the free PT session, as well, to get feedback on my squat and deadlift form. I think that will help me not to feel so intimidated in the free weight room, and more confident on the big exercises.
