You don't need to buy an expensive gym membership so you can use all those complicated machines to get in shape. People were building muscle and burning fat long before any of those strange looking machines were invented. All you need for an inexpensive home gym are an exercise mat, set of adjustable dumbbells, a stability exercise ball as well as an adjustable bench would be great BUT not necessary.
Also a treadmill or stationary bike would be a bonus for cardio exercise but not necessary as you can still do cardio exercise with your body weight, some light dumbbells or outdoors.
