Functional Workout
This video illustrates a great set of movements to build athletic performance. It's all there: balance, explosive power, strength, and lots of functional movement. Great stuff.
The other thing I note here: note all the open space, and the total lack of machines. Big box gyms love machines because they're supposedly safer and give newbies a ready-made format for getting in shape. But past the first few weeks of basic remedial strength building, machines are a crutch.
If you want to be strong, fast, and injury-free, avoid the machines and go with free weights and functional movements. If you don't know where to start, talk to trainers until you find one who can show you.

That said, I'm still a HUGE fan of weight training. There's nothing that builds raw strength for me as fast. Plyometrics are fantastic, but there's nothing like a set of heavy squats every week for two months to make me feel like a god. (And help me set personal records on my bike.)
