Reply With QuoteIf you want home equipment, you can do a lot better than that for a lot less than $2000.
Get an adjustable bench, chinup bar, adjustable power rack, olympic barbell, adjustable dumbbells, dip/chin belt, and enough weights to last you. You can purchase all that for well under $1000.
You could also purchase a tall barbell stand and some sawhorses instead of the power rack to save more money.
A dip station would be another valuable addition.

home gym
does anyone here know anything about nautilus home gyms? i am thinking about getting the ns500 they say it is close to being the same as free weights ( althought it is cable) i tried it , it seems fairly smooth. is it a good machine to build a little muscle? and to get toned up?it has 200lbs a weight to it.
it is 2000 dollars but is a nice piece of equipment and made well, so i dont think it would not get used.
any info would be much aprreciated! thanks
