Whoa!.. Even being a new gym, I've never heard of a gym NOT having any type of equipment that you couldn't use to unrack the bar to squat with!
I've never seen a gym without this:
If the weight is managable, you certainly won't need an ACTUAL rack with catch bars.
Additionally, if your gym has NOTHING that you can unrack a barbell with for squats, then I recommend that you not bother with the Rippetoe program until you have the necessary equipment (which isn't much more than a barbell and weight).
