Weight machine workouts?

Hi all,
I was wondering if someone out there could point me to a good, beginner's strength workout routine which uses the weight machines in the gym and NOT free weights.
I know using free weights would be much much better, and I fully intend to train with free weights when I can, but at the moment it's simply not an option. Whilst the only local gym I can afford does have a weights room, I would not feel safe working out in there. (I went in once, was sneered at for only using the bar with no weight, comments were made about my breasts & butt & I was made to feel very unwelcome. Ordinarily I wouldn’t give two stuffs, but given the very unsavoury comments & gestures made toward me, and the fact the weight room is a little way away from the rest of the gym with no cameras & the only window a small pane of glass in the door, I would not feel safe going in there again).
I am not in a position to be able to afford to buy a bar, weights, squat rack etc to work out at home (and living in a first floor flat, my downstairs neighbours are likely going to have an issue with it).
However the gym does have machines in an open space with lots of people, and I do want to build strength.
So can anyone recommend good machine workouts for a beginner?
Thanks!

Try looking on Fitness Blender. You can then see what machines are available and make a routine based off that.
