I really need to get the production prototype of my LFE chair finished.
The 'racing cockpit' chairs are ridiculously overpriced for what you get. And any 'racing chair' (and I've owned several) that is decently priced has a lifespan of a few months before it falls apart.
I am working as fast as I can here to produce a good VR LFE chair with the optional add-on cockpit accouterments. I think you guys will be impressed with the feature set once I've got it together and get some butts in it to test.
There is no reason that This Right Here should only cost you 170 dollars and This Right Here should cost 900 dollars. (before any add-ons) It's roughly the same amount of materials and engineering.
I've been fabricating race-sim cockpits as a hobby for years. I promise to deliver far more for far less to the VR/Sim community compared to what is currently available today.
I personally have a modest bench with an olympic bar and 300lbs of weight (cast iron) that cost me around 400$ a few years back. The bench I use is similar to this one. You can raise the supports and use the olympic bar to do chin ups and pull ups (and it serves as a squat rack), so with a similar set up you could do mostly everything but pulley exercises and leg presses.
If you're open to something different you could try a bodyweight program (/r/bodyweightfitness). I've been doing one for a year or so before moving to weights, with a good diet you can still reach an impressive level of strength and volume.
I DO!
I have this one:

Dicks currently has their 300lb weight and barbell set for $220. That means you would be paying $130 for that bench thing. I think you can do better than this buying used. Considering you can buy it new for $180 here

I would pass on this setup or at least ask the guy to come down on price. All of this can be had new for $400.
