For the fact that you are asking this question shows that your have not made up your mind about consistent exercise and lifestyle change. My recommendation is not to waste your money, your time and take up extra space in a gym

There's no point going to the gym on weekends only. At least three times a week, with rest day(s) in between.
And when you're at a gym don't waste your time looking at other people, chit-chatting, fumbling with the machines, walking leisurely on the treadmill or playing with your phone all the time. Know what muscles you want to work, do the relevant exercises, then fuck off from the gym. Shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes per session if you are focused.

What is your purpose of joining a gym? Weight loss, Muscle gain? Body building?
Unless you're aiming to be a competitive body builder, your own body weight is more than sufficient for most muscle strengthening exercises.

Hahahaha. What position are you talking about? 2 dumbbells, a proper adjustable bench and a mat is almost what you need to hit about every muscle group. All you need is some motivation to go read up.
A set of powerblock or bowflex + bench + mat, at most 1k.

Some people do not want the clutter at home. Also, the gym offers some social benefits.
You can only do barbell exercises at a gym e.g. dead lifts and squats. Not many people will invest in those equipment for home use.
Body weight exercise is good too. Pull ups, dips and Bruce Lee's leg raises are excellent.
1K? LOL Go gym cheaper.
How can asking this question means I have not made up my mind? I am probably healthier than you and will outlive you.

i do all of thta at home and i do weighted pull ups too 5x5 currently at 25kg hanging from my waist while i do pull ups.
Bruce lee leg raises? You mean dragon flag?
You are wrong about barbell exercises there's tons of running, rowing machines at the gym i have a running machine at home too.

I noticed there are like 2 types of gyms.
Those commerical types with the threamills, step machines etc and small light dumbbells and the other kind where people go and lift really heavy weights where you can do clean and jerk movements or bench, squat, deadlift really heavy weights and can throw them on the ground. It tends to be grittier and less commericalized. I think clubfit has those but i don't think they allow weighted pull ups.
