Power rack, bench, olympic barbell w weights, yoga mat, chinup bar and elliptical or rowing machine.
Solid choices. I’d just replace the elliptical with nothing, seeing as how they are retarded and for women.

10kg dumb bells and a yoga matt. That's it. Exercise everyday with weights and a assorted pilates poses; eat accordingly and you will not only become fit you will become slim and resculpt your body without killing yourself or buying expensive products and gym memberships.
All you need is a little open space on a bare floor. Practice yoga once a day. Not the sissy yoga the girls do, but hardline yoga that gives you a workout. In a few months your health and endurance will be better than anyone who works out at a gym.

I lol'd at this.
I used to build docks in Florida during the summer. I was stronger than any weightlifter I knew.
Well when the only weightlifters you know workout at Curves that might your problem.

Calistenics are good entry-level exercises. Some may be fine for core build up, but you will need something else for limbs and chest/back later on.
the only people laughing at this don't understand the difference between muscles and strength.
Just get a squat rack with a Bench and a few dumbells and you can Pretty much do anything you want
If your space is limited, a power tower with a bench is good. https://www.amazon.com/Health-Gear-CFT3-0-Functional-Adjustable/dp/B09NMP1W6X/ref=mp_s_a_1_16?crid=1BGQWLUOJTJYP&keywords=power+tower+bench+press+dip+station+pull+up+bar&qid=1673186329&sprefix=power+tower+bench%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-16

Bodyweight fitness is a thing, so its possible to do with nothing but you and walls.
Having said that, you want a bench that inclinea/declines.
Adjustable dumbbells gets you max variety of exercises with a small thing. Personally I find it easier to bench press a single bar, then balance and coordinate two dumbbells, but presumably that works different muscles and is good to do both.
body weight / ankle weight / bands is one of my workouts of the 3. Mainly I'd just like to take about 6 of the other 12 I do back home and also make it so I could do those quickly in between breaks, waiting for food to cook, etc.
Adjustable dumbbells
Probably not. These only go up to like 55, 60? pounds. You're not going to get very much use out of such a low ceiling for the more important lifts. Curls, sure, but then if you're trying to save money save all the money and put paper in bags and curl that - dead serious BTW.
e; It's real annoying people think "adjustable dumbbells" are a meaningfully good purchase. If you're 11 years old and 50 pounds maxes you out, okay? But if you're older than 13 then you need more weight. You'll gain more from pushups and other body weight lifts than a 50 pound max dumbbell set.
Dumbbells are for assistance exercises and hypertrophy work, pushing your heaviest weights will always be done with a barbell.
Good adjustable dumbbells like the ones I posted can get loaded to 150+ lbs, more than you're sissy ass will ever need.
I'm stronger than you, so don't talk down to me about my opinions, faggot.
I tried to do at home stuff because of covid bullshit. The hardest thing to find something for was seated calf raises (seated and straight-legged calf raises work two different muscles). Also a good leg adductor exercise was difficult to find or create.
If you're just going to do 4 things, I'd recommend they be a bench press, squats, deadlifts, and pull ups. A barbell is recommended for the first 3. I'm 155 pounds and squat with 135 right and that's low. When I was at my best, I used to put 200 pounds on my shoulders. That would be two 100 pound dumbbells. That's a lot of weight to be hanging from your arms.
I'm trying to look for a basic leg adductor now. Abductor is easy but adductor is basically the reason I signed up for a gym membership at all at the moment.
I do three basic workouts at the moment. Legs, upper, and a mat based mid section (minus lower back) with a calorie burn and glut workout.
Ultimately I'd like to bring about 6 of my gym workouts home so I can make it so I only have to leave the house for the gym for only 1 of the three workouts.
I'm not really trying to max out. 10-30 rep sets are ok. At the moment I set up workouts based on time and no breaks (so long as at least 10 reps were hit) than weight and sets. It helps me turn the workout into a cardio workout as well and keep the overall time working out down.
Machine weights aren't always accurate. There's this pull up assistant thing I set at "200 pounds" and then I sit on it and it starts going down. I was about 165 when I tried this. It shouldn't be going down if it's 200 pounds. Anyway, at the other gym that's the same company, they have leg adductor and abductor machines that go up to 305 pounds. I had maxed them out. I used to go do leg days over there for those machines. The ones at my main gym can be made to go up to about 160 with added weights. I don't try adding too much.
I quit working out because of a shoulder injury, and now I'm just doing squats, deadlifts, and calves, because calf weight training makes my heels stop hurting. I think just calf stretching can make heel pain go away, but I can't go hard when it's just stretching. I get a good stretch from the weight machines, though. Anyway, I was going to say I started doing squats without any leg training, and I found my hamstrings, adductors, and abductors were all hurting in addition to quads and glutes obviously. Before I started doing squats when these muscles were trained and strong. It makes them work enough that they get a workout if you're untrained. If you have them strong already, it's not significant for them.
