But that basically means I can only get bigger in my upper body and arms. How do I build my ass, thighs and legs if I can't do heavy squats? Fit tells me leg presses and such don't cut it.

who cares. get serious about it.
You got a problem and those machines were made for people with problems just like you. Use them. If you can't squat and deadlift they're your only choice.
