Well than that person's an idiot.
Also check out the sticky at the top Weight Training 101.
You don't say how much time you have for your workout, but you should set aside at least 1 hour. And don't make the mistake countless people (like myself!!!) made:skip warmups and stretching. Your body will than you for this later on in life!
Its a post from dougp25 in the first timer to the gym, help building a routine please thread.I don't believe that bs but he must since he advised it to someone.

Regardless of what the post said (as it is not linked so I have no idea)
Here is the basic breakdown...
Pre-cardio-Light dynamic stretch work-5 min specific warm up
Pre-Lifting-Moderate dynamic stretch work and/or specific warm ups (ie: if squating with weight perform some no weight/light weight squats first)
Post cardio/Post Lifting-5 min cool down/stretch session of static stretching
Anytime-SMR work with foam rollers
What you don't want to do before a workout is static streches which may be what was meant by what you read.

Spidey,
If that's a quote above, then you've just misunderstood its intent (as it was written a bit ambiguously) -- he's saying if you don't make the mistake of skipping warm-ups & stretches, then your body will thank you (but if you do make the mistake of skipping warm-ups & stretches, then your body won't thank you) -- the author apparently made the mistake himself at one time in his training career.
At least that's my take on the situation & I'm sticking to it.

Thanks, SgtTTTT, exactly what I said.
But I will clarify:
Don't make the mistake of skipping stretching and warmups, because if you make that mistake, your body will not be happy with you.
Man, that's still all circular-like.
Ok, let's try it again:
Don't skip stretching and warming up. Period.
There that was easy!
