Kettlebell is best bang for buck in space for exercise but learn the swings from a trainer to avoid injury. I took a seminar years ago from Pavel and doing a few sets of kettlebell swings cooks me good from cardio and full body workout. Now slowly adding to gym with a set of USA made dumbbells, adjustable bench and trapbar for trap squats, pulls and deadlifts.

Good advice! I put horse stall mats down and working on insulation, lighting, heating and cooling. Still building and just have dumbbells and kettlebells for now and a trap bar on the way for trap squats, pulls and deadlifts. My garage has weird shape that makes it especially challenging. I need to remove a bunch of shelving that came with the garage and repaint, finish the walls and add mirrors and lighting and sound system.

Great video! My power rack is a place to use my rings, landmine, TRX, dip handles, and Crossover symmetry bands. I don’t need an expensive rack or barbell because I’m not squatting, pressing, or deadlifting with a barbell, and an inexpensive Olympic bar is perfect for landmine usage. 
I did however, put money into other equipment, the accessories to use on the rack, an adjustable bench, and a set of dumbbells because I prefer using dumbbells for my weight training.
I train hard and my gym is perfect for me. It’s refreshing to see a gym equipment YouTuber who understands that a quality home gym looks different for each person.
