I know for a fact that this is not true. Several years ago, I was in the best shape of my life and it did not require any fitness equipment at all. Gym equipment like ellipticals, treadmills, and weight machines are great but they are not required to get in shape. You can use your own body for resistance training as well as for cardio workouts.
Although I do belong to a gym, I also have my own home gym which consists of nothing more than a stability ball, dumbbells, and resistance bands. Remember, you already have what it takes to stay fit, and that is you!
