I’m close to hit my goal weight (130lbs) and would like to start toning up what’s left. I had plans to buy a home gym, with weights and the ability to do multiple exercises for full body workout, but I’ve seen lots of good reviews about the overall workout you get from a versaclimber. I’m 5’2”, have lost 37lbs (down from 175.4 to 138.2 currently). I also have lower back issues due to a vehicle accident years ago. Which would be better, versaclimber or home gym?

    The best equipment you can buy is equipment that you'll use. Weights will allow you to build/maintain muscle, get stronger, and if you organize your workouts properly, get some endurance/cardio in. A versaclimber is basically a cardio machine. So it really comes down to your version of toned and rather you'd stick with a single thing or want the variety you can get with weights.
