Unless you sign up for an aerobics class or something. But around here if you sign up for a class like that just to perv girls they throws ya out. :( Not that I have any experience with that...

Free weights are the only way to go. Buy an olympic weight set with bench and squat rack and throw it in the basemant. I've lifted at home since summer. When I started I could barely bench 225 now i'm at almost 300lbs. Great investment.
