If weight training is your principal focus, then the first phase is to buy a set of weights. You can acquire free weights which are less expensive. The price tags can be as low as 50 dollars or lower. But you need a combination of weights weighing 4.5 kg (10lb) and 9kg (20lb) which is a hand-held dumbbell with a bar. The end of this bar is replaceable with other weights for more flexibility. There are many different types of bars. But it is up to you to decide on whether you are going to use the plastic or metal weights.

Treadmills are nice workouts machines too for your home gym. The prices depend on the types, models, brand, and features.
