 First day of week two for the Zombie 5K and it was a good workout. How do I know? It felt short and didn't drag. I'm definitely noticing good results from the work.

I actually have a club right next door to my apartment that has all those things. I've even been paying for a membership for a while now!.\o/

Then you're set!

Except for one more nugget of wisdom I want to impart on you, which is:

stay away from Smith machines. I'm too smoked right now, so I'll let my man Dom Mazzetti take it away.

As an addendum: know your body well enough that you can distinguish muscle fatigue from injuries. Sometimes it's obvious (something pops and you get an immediate pain feedback), sometimes it's not. DOMS doesn't set in until 48 hours or so - if you're sore immediately after a workout, you probably injured yourself. Don't try to be a hero about it - you're expected to work through muscle fatigue, but there is simply no reason to try to work through an injury. You'll only end up making it worse, possibly even something chronic. I'm not a physical therapist or a doctor, so that's the extent of the advice I can give.

Sounds golden. And once again, thank you for your input. At the very least it's been encouraging, but really it has been informative.
