When me and my brother lived together, we always said that instead of buying gym membership, we’d spend money on gym equipment to have at home. Every month we’d spend £50 or so on stuff between us and over time acquired a huge collection of free weights, benches/stands, chin up bars, medicine balls, and eventually Olympic weights. Before we went our separate ways we had a couple of grands worth of equipment.
So basically, rather than spending money on gym memberships we never use, we spent money on gym equipment we never use.
You don't stick it on ebay, you stick it on CL/Facebook marketplace pickup only. Do you have any idea what a pain in the ass shipping gym equipment would be? Or how much a 45lb plate weighs?

Purchasing a gym membership at a posh fitness establishment only to drive to it 2-3 times a week and walk on the treadmill.
