Why would you not use a local gym or YMCA or community center?
Most of them have a lot of money in equipment that is available to give you great cross training. Just curious.
If you are looking for used equipment. Go on your local craigslist.org site. They are for sale all the time, as the equipment is usually just a dust collector.
