See what I mean about quals and lifts in the sig? Someone with lifts bigger than I've ever managed says you don't need bodyweight work to prepare for barbell work.
And physically, it's often true - though it depends on the person's background, eg a woman who played netball at state level for six years can go straight to the barbells, a guy who always got picked last for teams in school and never does anything more physical than click his mouse probably needs some general preparation first.
However, mentally is another thing. I think we can all agree that if you don't have the resolve to do a few pushups in the park every day, you certainly won't do anything with the squat rack in your garage.
The best workout is the one you stick to. I suggest creating the habit of exercise before spending money on a gym or equipment.
