At the only gym I have access to right now there are no barbells and weight benches, only strength training weight machines.

Do you have access to dumbbells, at least?  If so, you can use those, or even kettlebells, to rest on your shoulders while you squat and their natural positions during the other lifts.

If not, here's an all-machine workout that could be what you're looking for: http://www.mensfitness.com/training/workout-routines/best-all-machine-workout

I've been able to build muscle and burn fat while doing the Spartacus workout from Men's Health: http://www.menshealth.com/fitness/spartacus

I would further say that variety is the spice of life. If machines are the only things available, change up the routine every week or so to keep from getting bored and to keep your body guessing. There's nothing so frustrating as plateauing. Garner an image in your mind and go after it; even if it isn't feasible in the short-term. Sucks that you don't have access to barbells. As for bench press, you don't have to have a bench, either. You can do floor presses with some good results, as well.

There's a machine similar to that one at the gym I go to. Thanks though. When I get bored of the routine I will to them in a different order. With my current living situation I have no where to keep kettle bells, I look into getting them in the future.
