    Cheaper to join the gym.
    • Home gym cost: $1500-2000 for a proper rack, bars, belts, shoes, plates, platform, chalk, clips, and so forth for barbell training.
    • "Real" gym cost: $85/month, if you include 10 miles from home/work to get to it and the direct cost is $50/month.
    • ROI is achieved in 18 to 24 months.

    That analysis aside (and play with the numbers any way you wish), some people do better at commercial gyms than at home gyms. Others simply don't have the space, location, or interest in a home gym.

    If you do have the space and interest in working out at home, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better investment in your health.
