You don't need to visit a gym to get a workout, a set of free weights is a good (and inexpensive) way to tone up at home -- you really don't need machines. Take the money you would have spent on a gym and spend it on a periodic visit from a personal trainer.

Yea you don't really need a gym, but I'd bet most people simply don't have the space to do many workouts in their home comfortably these days if the stories I read are accurate.

It really doesn't take much room for basic fitness at home - especially if you get your cardio exercise outside -- I have a set of dumbbells, some stretch bands, and a wobble board under the bed and do everything in a 3 foot wide space at the foot of the bed. And in reality, it doesn't take any equipment at all, since there are plenty of good exercises that use your own body weight as resistance:
