I use dumbbells and bodyweight stuff at home too and am happy with my progress but it would certainly be nice to have access to machines. I’ve hit a plateau on my lifts because theres only so much weight I can do with dumbbells before my grip and arm strength starts limiting me. That wouldn’t be as much of an issue with the machines/barbell/squat rack at the gym. Also I could get someone to spot me.
