    Anyone know any place selling cheap home gyms? I'm talking about 200-300 dollars range.

    I went to sears and academy today but left empty handed. The one I found at sears that I like is about $399 but that doesn't include delivery and setup which come up to about $650 total. The one I found at academy is $200 but come up to $400 with delivery and setup. The reason why I need it deliver is because my car is too small and I don't know anyone that own a truck. Are home gyms easy to set up? I guess I can do that part myself but does anyone know where I can get one for $200-$300 with cheap delivery?

    Buy a couple of kettlebells and you have a home gym. You can get a full cardio workout while building muscle.

    Agreed, though be careful on craigslist's phrasing. Ever since they agreed to crack down on the call girl ads, the escorts have bled over into other categories. "With full cable attachments" no longer means what you think it means.

    I actually have a 16 kg and a 20 kg in my trunk right now. I take them to a field to work out in the early morning. I have ordered a 24 kg that will be added to the trunk soon.

    Kettleballs are nice. You could go with adjustable DBs and a bench. There is always a lot on craigslist.

    Before you go buying a home gym, start out with something like a weight bench and free weights. Most of those home gyms are overpriced for what you get. Not to mention so many people buy home gyms and don't do anything with them and eventually they just take up a large amount of space as furniture.

    Try craigslist if you don't mind used.
