Should I get a gym membership or just workout at home?

r/

I’ve been thinking about getting back into working out and I’m confused between joining a gym or just setting up a routine at home. I don’t have any equipment at home, just a yoga mat. Should I get a couple of dumbbells? I’m worried I’ll slack off if I stay home, gotta work on being disciplined.

Also, are those fitness watches (like Apple Watch, Fitbit, etc.) actually helpful? Or is it one of those things people get and stop using after a month? Honestly, one random motivation for getting a fitness watch is to wear it in the shower so I stop taking those long 40-minute showers.
