So I just ordered the P90X and I'm wondering do I NEED the chin up bar/resistance bands at home?
My gym has both and I would really rather not spend the money on them unless I absolutely needed them.

    You can buy the chin up bar at walmart for about $20 and I use free weights instead of the bands.
    You have more control with the weights anyway.

    I am assuming that you will be doing the P90X routines at home ? then the answer would be yes. but you can pick up some decent bands at walmart for about 30 bucks and that way you can do the exercises with them

    Yes, you will need them to workout at home. Totally worth the investment!

    I prefer free weights to the band but you can do the exercises without if you don't have them our the bands, obviously it's more like stretches without some resistance but you could make do with a couple of full water bottles.

    Pull up bar is essential.
