Hello,
Clearly you haven’t been on Instagram and noticed the new fitness crazy! The gym isn’t that bad of a place. ![]()
Not sure how much space you have?
You can use a Smith Machine:
Or
Functional trainers such as Lifefitness
Competitor to Lifefitness
Precor:
Also, TechnoGym’s weird contraption (this is all over France and European Hotels)

IT is not my fave but it works and fits in a small space.
As others pointed out the racks have safety systems:

I don’t like TechnoGym per se, but their home training system isn’t bad. Compact and gets a lot of function in a small space.
If you we have convinced you to go with a rack with safety spotters, I would go with Rogue. I did after looking at all the options and having teenagers I didn’t want to get hurt. The downside, is the anchoring system limits where you can locate the rack.
I would look at getting a 3 way bench regardless of choice:
Kettlebells are splendid as well:
I go to the gym and use my home gym. So, I feel your pain on heading to the gym and dealing with knuckleheads. However, I am usually there for a couple hours during kids practices. Thus, have no choice. When they are not at practice, I prefer just to walk to my garage and get my lift on.
Good luck M8!
