I'm sure this has been covered before but it might bear refreshing.

What is a good home gym for under $800? Amazon resellers offer $1100 systems for $700 and it's the latter number I'm interested in, not a list or suggested retail price.

I used free weights for years but they're not appropriate anymore. I'm thinking of Bowflex units and weight stack/cable systems. Durability, quality construction, difficulty of assembly, range of exercises and weights, resistance vs. weight training, whatever else I haven't thought of.

If you have any experience, heard any stories, please let me know.

Look on craigslist. People are always trying to get rid of those home gyms, especially the Bowflex.
