My experience with home exercise equipment was not that great. We bought a fairly expensive treadmill several years ago and after about three years it developed all sorts of problems. I called the company and was told it would cost $130 for someone to come look at it and that because that model was no longer made, it was unlikely they'd even have the right parts to fix it. Since then, I was talking to an equipment repairman at the gym I've since joined and he said this is pretty typical of what happens with home equipment. Gym memberships have become very reasonably priced in the last few years. There you have a variety of equipment to use, classes you can choose, and personal trainers available if needed. Most gyms in my area are $30 per month. When I first considered joining, I was afraid it would be filled with young, fit people and I'd be intimidated. That didn't turn out to be the case at all. There are all ages at my gym, including lots of elderly people who only recently began to exercise. I've made new friends there and can constantly change my routine to avoid boredom and focus on specific results I want. To me, the gym is a much better value than buying equipment and dealing with repairs. My treadmill, due to its short lifespan, cost me $500 per year compared to $360 per year for the gym and I have many more exercise options than just walking. It's also nice to not have to deal with bulky equipment taking up space in my home. I realize there may be some areas where there is no gym available within a reasonable drive, but if you have one I would recommend looking into that rather than buying your own machine.

If I had to fill my home with excersise equipment... The Total Gym, the Bow Flex, and a couple of dumbells would be the only few pieces of equipment I would need in my home. With either one of these / you cannot go wrong. I have been through 2 total gyms.. Awsome equipment!!!!!!! All you need is personal commitment, dedication, and 20 minutes per day. I love the Total Gym -- I am 50 years old and have been using the Total Gym since I was 42..I have had 2 of them and I am now looking for a third;.. so this must say something about the Total Gym. I have never used a Bow Flex (couldn't afford one) but if I could... I would have had one without a doubt. From the first time I saw the Bow Flex on TV I knew it was a sculpture worth having.

you could order online but shipping will prob be a few hundred due to freight charges. maybe go by a gym in your closest biggest city and see they sell they old ones or where they order from? other than that, take a road trip after the quarantine is lifted.

Artemis, being outdoors...yes! I have mostly been swimming. The pool heater from a local eBay seller has been wonderful. A while back I added some exercises with an exercise noodle. However, as much as I love it my body is getting too accustomed to it and I’m plateauing . I‘m also sort of tired of my many exercise video’s. Think I’ll start using my husbands new toy, the Snode magnetic fly wheel exercise bike. This is sitting in the living room for now but will eventually be in part of the guest room. My son turned us on to this inexpensive $330 bike. You can use zwift, peloton, fygnz & kinomap apps with but the easiest for us is to turn on YouTube and use the free GCN 30min, 45min and more vids. I have only so far used this newish bike while watching a tv show. You can not hear any sound from this bike while using. It also doesn’t take up much space. Me, looking through some of the free GCN YouTube vids. Most of these are designed around a geared bike workout but would be easy enough to adapt. EDITED to add... Further YouTube searches bring up some choices more up my ally, mixed workouts. There are many in non GNC as well.
