I just bought a gym pass for a relitvely small gym and i want a full body work out and im onl going for an hour a day max so what should i do in that full hour to evenly work each part of my body?
 
Much of this depends on your goals as stated above, but also how frequently you can manage to train in terms of how many days per week can you commit to that one hour? If it's 4-5, you'll, in my opinion, want to give serious consideration to, at the very least, employing an upper/lower split (each half 2x/week). If you can only make 2-3 days, a full body workout may be the way to go (in fact, I think the case against them is largely overly reactionary, particularly as it applies to a beginner or low intermediate). At any rate, you'll want to prioritize exercises that hit as many possible bodyparts as possible for efficiency's sake. Deadlifts, squats, pullups, military presses, bench presses (of all varieties) and rows are all exercises that can be peformed by begginers (and I'd bet most vets of the iron game even wish they started some of these exercises earlier than they did). With some instruction, cleans, barbell hacks, clean and jerk, etc also do wonders for a full body regimen.
 
Forget the total body workout, and go with a split, even if you can only go a few days per week. You can form a 3-4, or even 5 day split with workouts that you can finish in 30-45 minutes.
For example, I'm on a 4 day split (5x5 routine, plus a little extra). Monday=chest, tuesday=back/bi's, wednesday=off, thursday=legs (longest workout, and it takes a maximum of 50 minutes), and friday=shoulders/tris.

Do like BG said, and be sure to include major compound movements, especially if you are a beginner.

We'll all try to help you as much as we can.
