The frugal minded person will be able to find a cheap gym that meet their needs.
 It will take a little more research and some surfing on the internet, but bargains are out there ready for the plucking.
 A common misconception that people make is that cheap gyms mean less quality, but this is not true.
 Don't get me wrong, you can purchase a cheap home gym that is not built well and will not stand the test of time, but not if you conduct proper research.
A great place to start your search is directly with the manufacturers.
 Home gyms are an extremely competitive market meaning deals are out there for you.
 Going directly to the manufacturer you can sometimes get great deals on overstocked gyms that the manufacturer needs to move.
 You can get these at a fraction of the cost they would normally be.
You will also find out that many manufacturers make home gyms that are very similar to name brand companies.
 These gyms are made of very good quality, the company is just trying to get their name out there by selling the gyms at a reduced price.
Lastly, you could look into used home gyms.
 These may be sold by the manufacturers, on eBay or other online auction sites.
 If you decide to go this route, be sure and inspect the home gym.
 Make sure it is in good working condition, the pulleys and cables are not worn or frayed and the bench seating isn't torn or needs upholstering.
 This is an excellent way to get a high end gym for a cheap price.
In summation, cheap and affordable gyms are out there if you are willing to do the research.
 It isn't as easy as purchasing a new home gym, but the satisfaction of knowing you saved a significant amount of money will make it worthwhile.
