Thank you so much - I've been wanting to try ne for a while & finally plucked up the courage to sign up!!
Yes it absolutely is! But just bear in mind that weight machines tend to isolate and target individual muscles whereas compound movements on free weights will work several muscle groups at once, so it would be a bit harder to get a balanced workout just using machines, but you'll still see progress for sure. If you feel comfortable you could take a preloaded bar (those ones that are a barbell but they're smaller than the ones on the racks, and they have a set weight, no need to add plates) or dumbbells into a quiet corner and use those for some compounds
Yeah for sure it's possible. Depending on how good your gym is in terms of what machines they have, it's possible to do a really good training plan with just that or supplementing with bodyweight stuff.
Is it possible to train at home. I live in a rural area in Greece, no gyms within a 20 mile radius (at least). Also, I’m no spring chicken, although in my younger years I was a regular gym goer.
Yes I would be interested in this.
Any youtube videos that would help?
What weights to buy?
Hope it's OK to revive this thread! I've been strength training at the gym with intention for about 9 weeks now, and I'm loving the results mostly. I have gained weight, not just muscle unfortunately, because I'm so effing hungry these days!
Any protein powder tips? I feel quite bamboozled by all the options and don't feel like I can trust most reviews. I need to get more protein in me though, and a powder seems the easiest way.

I really like the clear whey, I find it much more drinkable than ‘normal’. It makes it a juice more than a shake, if that makes sense?
Ah that's a good tip, thank you. And probably more palatable for me.
I take unflavoured pea protein, it’s the only one that agrees with me, if you know what I mean!
I have one scoop with 400ml almond milk which is low calorie, a banana and a handful of whatever berries I have to hand.
The scoop of protein powder alone gives 24g protein.
Well done on being consistent
