Low-impact gym workout

I am trying to find a gym workout that is low impact

Any gym equipment except the treadmill.

Pool.

Yoga.

Everything that doesn't require running or jumping would be considered low impact wouldn't it? Pretty much only rules out running on a treadmill.

I guess there might be some classes that incorporate jumping but you could always just attend and do a modified low impact alternative movement.

I have to avoid impact (and torque on the knee) because of a torn meniscus (deferring surgery) and some OA.

What's worked well for me is rowing (on water when I can, but that's obviously not in a gym; machine when I must) and spin classes. So does outdoor cycling, weight training, and yoga. Some martial arts have minimal impact, but the ones I was doing involved torque, so they're not in my routine anymore. Swimming is no impact, but I don't like being in water.

Some of those things might work for you, even the ones I don't do because of torque or distaste.

Depends on what you want in a low impact workout. Check out PiYo. Low impact and fun!

Rowing machine ... great low-impact, full-body aerobic workout. Plus pretty much any of the machines, depending on the issues you are trying to work around.
