bandflex?!? is that the poor mans bowflex? IMHO, don't buy a home gym, it will eventually just start collecting dust. Get a health club pass. If the reason you want to work out at home is time constraints, just try to find more time. You owe it to yourself to have time for a good workout. If the reason you want to work out at home is cuz you would feel embarrassed going to the gym, don't. The only people that get judged in a gym are the real big guys.
