Time to Buy a Home Gym

With the economy the way it is it's just not feasible to have a membership at a gym. I mean it's just an extra expense that I and a lot of people just can't afford. I think it's time that we look into home gyms and see how much it will cost to set up our own. The questions are would we use it? What is the best brand of equipment to get? Are there any bargains out there? I guess it's time to do some investigation.
