I bet you'd use that gym twice a month.

As for making your own gym at home. It is cheap and easy. Cost me less than £100, although I have moved it to work but the principle still applies. There are people in better shape than me but when I am fighting I can normally outlast pretty much anyone, even when they are half my age.

What's the score with Kettlebells?

"Kettlebell fans love the heavy, round-shaped weights for a reason — kettlebell exercises combine cardio and strength training for a time-saving calorie burn. The amount of calories you can burn using kettlebells can be amazingly high: a study by the American Council on Exercise found that the average person burns 400 calories in 20 minutes when doing kettlebell exercises. More research has found that regularly exercising with kettlebells significantly reduces back, neck, and shoulder pain by strengthening core and upper body muscles."
