honestly, at least two dumbbells(more of you have space) and adjustable bench, and a pull up station. That’s it. Here’s why:
you can do benching at all angles with the bench. You can squat with the dumbbells too Do flat, incline, decline and you gain better control and hit different areas with the dumbbells better as opposed to the barbells. You can do negatives, for max growth. You can row with em, do overhead flat benching pull-ups and hit triceps. Skull crushers for triceps too.
You can also sit down and do cross body rowing for core blasts. Sit down on floor. Extend legs or pull in to body. Grab 30. Slowly go left to right. Don’t bounce. If that’s too heavy go down. Count to ten using 1,2,3 = 1 etc, etc to 10 reps.
On the dumbbells that you buy I’d go 70-80% of your max so for me that means 2 of each of 30s,45s, 70s (or 80s for heavy days, 100s if possible but watch your floor or take it outside)
Lots of cheap pull up stations. Pull ups in different ways hits back, shoulders , traps using your body weight. Superset for max effect. Wide, close, hangs, chin ups, reverse and wide grip (30 secs at a time) can also hang and do abs, leg extensions, ride bike (20 seconds to 1 minute) on the bar, this also helps with your core.
Good to ok bench is $70-$150
Barbells another $100-$150
Pull up bar is $45-$200
thats $500 for your own gym. If you creative you can find matting for less than $100
$500 overall

30 lbs dumbbells can get you through the storm
I've been doing a calisthenics based home workout with olympic rings for the last 6 months, gotten a few muscle ups now working on the front leverPull ups, dips, rows, squats, and push ups are all you need as a foundation...then you just gotta build up/switch the difficulty of the exercises progressively as you get stronger
Oh and for cardio nothing beats a good jumprope routine30 mins a day jumping rope gonna have your cardio and calves through the roof!
Jump rope has helped my running stamina/endurance...
I swear by that shyt now
For now Gyms might have to offer blocks where a certain amount of people are allowed in from certain times and then they shut it down to disinfect for a bit and then bring in a new batch...
Assuming there would be an online system for that...

No plan is 100% foolproof...
If the consumer see that your constantly cleaning you can gradually be more leanient...
Some of these people are in so much of a panic, its crazy...
im speaking from a big city perspective
So far I’ve received my barbell and the base for my squat stand.
Today I have a bunch of other plates and pieces of the squat stand coming.
Tomorrow I should have my dumbbells and ceiling mounted pull up bar.
Built this platform last night.
It’s coming together...

I used:
4 pc of 3/4" 4' x 8' CDX Fir Plywood
1 pc of 3/4" 4' x 8' Birch Furniture Grade Plywood
2 3/4" 4' x 6' Rubber Stall Mats
1 box of 1-1/4" Construction Screws
1 Tube PL400 Glue
Then I followed these directions pretty similarly:

I screwed and glued the hell out of the base sheets to make sure they are sturdy, but that video is the general process of how I did it.

Brehs all the websites I see for equipment have big warning messages saying shipping will be delayed by at least 4 weeks.
