Westside Barbell is definitely a gym. First is attitude. Everyone must have the same goal, which is to get stronger.
Machines are a waste.
Machines build no stability. Many football teams are using the HIT system. Doing one set to failure does little for speed strength. Under 35 seconds I hope, because that's how long a football player gets to rest between plays. First is a power rack with pin holes every 2 inches on center, or 1 inch on center if possible, like ours, for doing rack lockouts.
