Since I know that a lot of people here are into fitness and nutrition I am looking for some suggestions on my next move. My current membership expired and haven't been to the gym in 2 weeks but am now pondering installing some equipment in a small space in the basement. It's mainly unused space, and can move the desk and computer into the corner where it won't be a bother. Not sure on what equipment to get though.
Thinking the best would be a cage, but the low ceiling (about 7ft) may have an issue with that. I'm considering a half rack, a bench, and some free weights in order to do most exercises. I like doing the squat, and primarily compound exercises. Another issue is whether this is worth it or not. The membership at Fit4Less is about $150 for the entire year, and I don't think that I can get a very decent setup for $300 (price for me and my wife). Best bonus is the fact I can go at anytime, and the Fit4Less isn't 24/7 in my area, the Planet Fitness is, but they don't have too much equipment here from what I see.
Any recommendations for a small weight lifting setup? Thoughts? Is it worth it or just suck it up?
