To add to that, if going out to the gym is by itself challenging, I'd consider getting just the basic hardware that you need to lift at home. I've been doing that for over 10 years, and while I recognize that being around other people has an added in terms of motivations, the accessibility of having all I need at home is one of the things that I think enabled me to persist.
I would not recommend anyone to follow this advice for some exercises without practicing a good form to avoid injuries.
In terms of hardware, what I have is really basic:
* 2x Dumbbell bars
* 1x Barbell bar
* 1x Easy (W) barbell bar (I don't often use it anymore)
* Plates in total weight of 130 KG (286 pounds). I'd start with only as many plate as needed to accommodate for your 1-rep max of either squat or dead-lift (you don't really need to have as much weight as you'll need for your 1RM but it provides a good buffer so that you don't need to acquire extra plates every week for quite some time)
* 2x home made makeshifts stands for squat (this part can be risky and I'd not advise it whoeheartedly. It is also why I avoid anything more than 250 lbs squats and opt for 8-10 reps instead of 4-6)
* CCF pad + foam roller (I use the roller instead of a bench-press bench)
If you have the budget and mostly the room for that, I'd get a real bench and a squat rack/cage, but the reason I made those choices is mostly to save on space. All of the above can easily be deployed and removed from sight.
