The gym should have a trainer, or at the least, a free orientation class. If they don’t, I’d flat out tell them you want a training session before you commit to their gym.
I’d ask them. It’s their equipment and they should teach you how to use it and what muscles each one works.
There are literally dozens of exercises for each of the muscles you mentioned.
