for us it's really about time
with school, work, church, and kid sports it's much easier to be consistent if we can cut out travel and prep time for the gym
Discussion
a home gym doesn't need to be complcated anyway, pretty much, the spongy floor, a set of weights, maybe a bench. most important are the body weight resistance. oh yes and a pull up bar. probably under $500 for the whole kit. having someone to call the reps can be good for body weight resistance also, so it's great to have a group to boost motivation
Agreed, we started with cheap spongy flooring and some dumbbells
