You don't need all that much to start, You need a door pull up bar, some resistance bands, and some free weights. I tried it for like a few days. It works as long as you do the workouts consistently and they also have a diet book and stuff. I gave up on that due to the annoying instructor on the video and just started using my Bowflex. If you know the workouts anything will basically get you ripped. The part they can't sell you is the willpower to continuously do it.
