Hopefully loosing all that weight was a good thing. (Not health issues, or something like that!)
I'll be worth it getting something set up at home. Not having to drive that far to access a gym and not having to share equipment is really nice. Keep us updated on what you do. FYI, I have a buddy that poured concrete weights during covid so he could work out at home. It doesn't take a lot of expensive equipment. Also shopping around for used, or getting 'good enough' cheap import stuff is good too.
Oddly enough, I worked on gym space today too. Ordered an incline bench, and finally assembled it today. It's just a cheap chinese import from amazon, but it works. I can see how I want to modify it already, but not having to make all those parts from scratch makes it worth while. It fits in the squat rack so I can safely do incline bench by myself.

The gym space isn't very large, but it's adequate for the wife and I to workout together. Most of this stuff was used stuff I picked up just before covid hit (when prices were still really good). About 8 cents on the dollar compared to new. I think the stall mats for the floor may have been the single most expensive part (It's really nice to be able to drop or set weight down and not hurt anything! Dead lift, bent over rows, etc.)
