Body Blitz Fitness

At my apartment complex, I have access to many cardio machines (treadmills, ellipticals, & stationary bikes). However, they do not have anything for weight training. I know how important it is to combine cardio and weight training so I joined a gym. I currently belong to LA fitness, and I absolutely **** it. As a college student, it is the only gym in my price range, but I am really unhappy with the place. The lines for the equipment are ridiculous. It can take up to 20 minutes to find a parking spot. Also, I feel really uncomfortable in the weight training section because it is mostly men. Not to mention, many people at the gym have no clue what they are doing and will spend 40 minutes doing squats or hours on one bench. Because of this, I am not able to use machines, weights, and benches I want to use.

Is it possible to do weight training at home that is comparable to weight training at a gym? I do have a strong knowledge about proper weight training. I own adjustable dumbbells at home that go up to 25 pounds and a jump rope. The gym at my apartment complex also has an adjustable bench. Will I be missing out on a lot of exercises by not having access to some of the machines? I have a petite frame and my goal is to become more toned and strong. Living in an apartment I do not have the space for large equipment, and I also can not afford it. However, I would be willing to spend money on other types equipment (such as a medicine ball) that could further help my fitness goals. I am worried that if I cancel my gym membership and weight train at home I will not be able to see the results I want to see.
Thanks for all of your advice - I really appreciate it!

I guess a major concern of mine is that I don't have all the equipment, a ton of different weights, or barbells. Can I make-do with the little equipment I have now, or do I need to make other purchases?
