I think the best things will be the things you find you enjoy while you're there. Try everything there is to offer! Anything that gets you sweating and your heart rate up is a win, so find what's fun and go for it.

I'm not a fan of machines because I'm afraid of feeling boring while exercising (unless there are individual TVs attached!). The following are the gym classes I found useful for overall weight-loss:

Zumba/ Latin aerobics: great dance-based group class. Effectiveness depends on instructors' moves, songs of choice, and how well you can learn the moves. Fun in general.

Les Mills courses: good assortment of cardio and strength training programs. Some of them are technique-sensitive and it's important to get assistance or correction by the instructors. I personally like Body Combat the most but def try other classes if your gym offers those.

Yoga/pilates/total body-mind balance type of classes: these are great for muscle extension, stabilization, and relaxation. Good to add to the weekly plan but I didn't like them in the initial stage of weight-loss though...

These are mainly cardio classes because I didn't like weight-lifting during the days when I join the gym. It's a regret now since there's no good gym near me to pick and choose anymore...
Hope you find the one you like!
