I only do crossfit at home, because of the high cost of going to their gyms. Obviously I am missing out on all the proper equipment, and the 1-on-1 training that you receive at a crossfit gym, but it's all I can do right now.

If you want to start out at home, I recommend a bench with bars for doing things like squats and shoulders, and of course bench press. A good bar of course to do the other olympic lifts. A chin-up bar and a place to do dips is a must. A kettlebell is secondary as you can use dumbbells if you have to, but they are nice. And really that's about it, at least that's all I have. When the workouts call for running or rowing mixed in with the workout, I just don't do that portion of it, and go running another time.
