You can start without weights ..... push ups, sit ups, squats

Pilates and power yoga are other forms of exercise that don't require weights (just a mat)0 -
I cancelled my gym membership a while back due to finances. I've invested in some barbells (8 lbs) and a couple of resistance bands, which allow me to do at-home strength training. There's also a lot you can do using your own body weight (pushups, crunches, tricep dips, etc.) If you Pinterest, I'd recommend checking out their Health and Fitness section. Some of it is hooey, but there are a lot of solid at-home workouts.0
