Recommendations for weights

My kid bought a house and moves out next month (yay!!) so I will have a spare room. Hubby wants to move my treadmill in there and get some weights/weight machine. I do not want free weights (I have psoriatic arthritis so my joints/tendons sometimes randomly decide they are not going to work anymore and that just seems like an injury waiting to happen). So I'm thinking a Bowflex or some such multi-use machine. Since I know absolutely nothing.... what should I be looking for? Are there ones to avoid?

    Well boobs would have gotten my attention!

    I'm not really up on the one piece fitness machines but I am a Chuck Norris fan. Maybe look at a total gym? Find some reviews comparing a couple?

    There is always the body weight routine plus yoga.

    Good luck!

    You might want to look into a TRX machine. I don't know a ton about them, but I know there's a lot of buzz around them right now. My dad had a Bowflex machine, I think he liked it well enough.
