I’ve seen everything from people spending a few hundred dollars to full garage gyms that cost more than a used car.

For those of you with a home gym:

How much have you spent total?

What was your first purchase?

What was your biggest expense?

Was there anything you wish you hadn’t bought?

If you were starting over today, what would your budget be?

What equipment should I buy first for a home gym if I only have $500?

Let’s say you’re starting from scratch with no equipment and a hard budget of $500.

What’s your shopping list?

Would you prioritize:

Adjustable dumbbells
Bench
Pull-up bar
Resistance bands
Kettlebell
Weight vest

How would you get the most results for the least money?
