As someone who has a homegym the main disadvantages are:
>lack of spotter for some lifts
>lack of certain equipment that could be beneficial (eg. reverse hyper, normal hyper, certain cable stuff and angles)
>lack of dumbbell selection, unless you have loads of room and money, so would have to go adjustable
>lack of social atmosphere and gym buds
>dead space for 90% of the time for your homegym
>if you plan on moving living place it can be v. inconvenient

Overall if you have the space and the initial capital (which pays for itself in like 1-2 years for decent equipment) I would heavily recommend it as all the problems are only mild inconveniences compared to being able to slam around weight, no waiting times, no travel time(a big one), own music, can fart, shower in house, try new things.

Lastly the cost effectiveness is pretty mild initially since you will inevitably buy more weight and other shit as you progress along but you get to keep all that stuff. But yeah its great, only genuine things i miss is the friendly banter and the spots.
