We bought an elliptical machine in 2001, and I have been using it for almost 10 years now. It still works well, it's paid for, and I get a great workout at home. I also own a couple of different weights of dumbbells and a jumprope, and that's all the equipment I need.

I did invest in a treadmill (we get a LOT of rainy days) and a home gym. If you budget, buy on sale (usually right after New Years) you can get some GREAT deals. Compare the cost of gym membership for 2 years and see wht you can pourchase for that much money.
