Not to argue with anyone, or shoot down another man's choice for "shaping the body," but a good routine of floor exercises costs nothing and does not need to be put on a credit card.
Of course, using the floor, and your own weight puts more strain on your joints, especially the wrists, as opposed to an elliptical machine, but again, space and the floor is all that is needed. Whenever I do go to a rec center, I use the ellipticals, but I've never paid for this sort of "home gym."
Good luck to those who partake. I'm sure Bowflexes are nice to own if they are truly used.
Addendum: I use to have a vintage Bullworker Bowflex back in the 80s, sort of like the photo.
