All my gym has is:
One leg press machine
One bench press machine that can be adjusted to do a shoulder press.
One Lat pulldown machine that also has a bottom pulley for lat rows.
One stationary bike
One elliptical thing
One treadmill
That’s it. No freeweights.

How do I get started with a good strength training/fitness program that doesn’t suck, using just these resources, that I can stick with? What should the program consist of? How many times a week? How many reps? How do I adjust the program as I get fitter?
If it matters, I’m male, 30, 6′1″, and 185 pounds of flab. I can do about 10 pushups and 1 pullup. resting pulse 76 bpm.

I have never started in this world of weight training with proper weights and blah blah blah. Well, let me start off witht he details. I am (I think) 5′10″, 150 lbs. or so, and completley unexperienced in this field. I was interested in trying to change my body for the better this summer since I have nothing to do. But I still have some stuff, and, therefore, do not want to spend all my day just working out. I am completley confused on what to use what to do etc. Please help!
Sorry, my age is 14, going to start high school in the fall.

Also, I don’t want to deal with a bunch of equipment, maybe something small like dumbbells or something similar. I also want to eat a good diet, but don’t want crazy protein shakes and stuff like that! I don’t mind natural healthy drinks though.
I also have access to pool, if that helps at all. I love to swim in it.
I also don’t want to work outside my home. Sorry if this is making it very hard, but this is what I have to work with. (The pool is at my home, by the way)
