      Depends on your goals and income level. I couldn’t afford to rent a place with the space for the equipment I use let alone the equipment itself. Of course training isn’t required for anyone, and there’s a lot you can achieve with little or no equipment, but there’s a reason why people pay for gym memberships rather than simply “doing pushups at home”.

          The only thing you’ll have issues with is the pull muscles like biceps and upper back. But a door frame pullup bar fixes the problem.

        Most people pay for gyms to cancel it before the end of the year, it’s not popular because it’s smart.

        Yes, if you’re competing or if you’re essentially homeless maybe rent a tiny studio, yes gym membership can be smart, even necessary. The shower is the biggest value you get out of a gym membership. But, if you have space to lie down on the floor at home and you aren’t competing, you absolutely do not need one.
