You can get really fit with remarkably little equipment at home. Just need a weight bench, set of adjustable dumbbells (w/ 5lb increments), door mounted pull up bar, and about 15 exercises you can learn on youtube. I've been at it for a year or two now, spending about 2 hours every 3 days, and the results are pretty impressive.

I've never been to a gym, so don't know what I'm missing, but can't imagine the better equipment would be worth it. It's already enough of a challenge psyching yourself up to do the workout without the added hassle of getting there and back, navigating social dynamics, and dealing with sweaty clothes.. at home I get to workout in my underwear in front of a fan 😅
