    I just started building my home gym.
    So far:
    Power Rack
    300lb plates w/ holder
    7ft Olympic bar
    Bench
    Heavy Bag
    Various bands
    Whiteboard to post results/future workout numbers

    More than sufficient now for doing Strong lifts 5x5. I will hopefully have to add more plates as my lifts get higher. Cost wasn't too bad. Got everything so far for under $600. Shop around online to find good pricing.

    Fantastic - looks great. Doesn't seem to take up too much space either. Thanks for posting the photo!

    Those mats on the floor are 2'x2', so in total it only takes up 10'x8ft'. Not too bad a sacrifice of floor space!

    I started SO basic. A stability ball was usually my bench--I figured it just added to my core work. I also had an olympic bar and a set of dumbbells that went up to 25lbs, plus a pair that were 35's. A few tubes, a chin-up bar and I got started. In fact, I used to do my step-ups from NROLFW using my coffee table!! It was the perfect height. And I totally made it work!!! :D

    I find this very encouraging. I want to start lifting properly, but only have a cheap ball (bright pink, too... nice), a pull-up bar that hooks onto the doorframe and the promise of my boyfriend's old adjustable dumbbells, when he gets them back from someone he lent them to.
    I haven't the money to even buy myself secondhand weights at the moment, so reading that someone started out with only a little more than I have now is great.

    I recently started kettlebell lifting. I have an old yoga mat, and 2 kettlebells (8kg, 12kg). I only takes up space when I'm working out.So small and easy!
