Totally true. I bought a simple home-gym type setup (it has a bench and a squat rack and at this stage in my training BP/Squat/DL/MP/PC make up almost all of the work I do) at a local store; it should have been $400 which still isn't bad but since it was a floor model they halved it and we had a coupon or something besides. We ended up paying $120 for a real nice setup - then I went over and bought a bar and like 400lb. of weight (more than I use for any lift) and never looked back. Plus my dad put a simple pull-up bar in the doorway of his room. If you can then absolutely get your own stuff.
Meanwhile, I work at a commercial gym doing front desk and we charge $499 down with $20/mo. as our
cheapest long-term package.
