I think also there is this idea that it's the machine or the equipment you need, but all you need is the movement and resistance. When the pandemic hit I bought resistance bands instead of expensive free weights. $60 later I'm squatting, deadlifting, overhead pressing, curling, bench pressing, shoulder pressing, calf raising, lat raising, doing everything really with a rubber band instead of a hunk of metal, doing the same movements and getting the same pump for half the price of a monthly gym membership around here.

I agree. For me it was mostly just to stop her renting the machine. I personally just use simple stuff you learn in PE and some isometrics. Using bands would be a nice augment to that.

You do not need a lot of money to exercise. You can get in cheap. Mostly it is about setting up a routine and doing that. Basically 'procrastination is the thief of time' and 'by repetition I get things done'.
