I am hybrid - free weight (dumb bell) and bodyweight combined. I have bought the adjustable bench (cheap one so not that sturdy) pull up bar, dip bar and weight vest and it is working well. At least all the equipment could cover the basic of pull-push and squat

I have never been to gym before thou and I have been working out for more than 5 years at home.

Calisthenics. small playground + rings = gym

Kids 🤣 play ground with rings
Better throw it away

If you just started, why not?
I did calisthenic for 4 years before hitting gym.
