Do you find gym weight machines confusing?

In terms of new gym members,do weight machines confuse you? How can this be improved?
Is video / voice instructions the best way? thanks

Every new member to a gym should be shown through a complete circuit of all the machines by one of the gym's trainers for free. If not, don't join that gym.

For me it was most helpful to repeat the orientation after I had been using the machines for a month.
