Is there not a trainer actually working in the gym that you could ask? Or is that what you mean by the girls at the counter (I assumed you meant the counter in the reception area)? Who put your programme together? (I ask because in most gyms there is no extra charge for having an appointment with a trainer every 6-8 weeks to set up your exercise plan, and most insist you have this done when you first join to cover their a$$es should you hurt yourself using their equipment.) Surely she or he would know?

In my gym, some of the machines have 15lb plates and some have 10lb plates, then all the free weights stuff is in kg. All of it is clearly marked (except that the plates don't say that they're pounds, but the trainer could tell me when I asked), so it's just a matter of adding it up.
