Regular gym bro here, tried home gym for a while, didn’t work for me. Main issues are:

• progression, you have to increase difficulty over time which is difficult with no equipment
• equipment is fucking expensive, although it may pay off after a year or 2. Resistance bands may be an alternative but restrict you in other ways
• no pull exercises in my case, my house is fragile and I’d break things. Literally no place to attach anything to
• I ended up not training regularly anymore because it’s harder for me to maintain a routine like that. It’s helpful to have a separate space for that

Overall, if you spend several hours per week with exercising, I’d recommend you use proper equipment. It’s just so much nicer. Home gym can work if you have the space and routine, but not in my tiny ass apartment. Fortunately gyms are not as extractive where I live.

Also, exercise is great for you, don’t listen to the haters. Gym weirdly does it for me, although it’s the most boring shit. Other exercise like bouldering often even comes with other people so you can socialise.
