Plenty of free online programming that is decent. Or you can pay for programming and still come out cheaper than your local box fees. I've been working out in my garage for over two years now and I don't think I could go back to a box. Equipment costs hurt at first but once you get the basics, you can add as you go. I started out with a rogue squat rack that doubles as a yoke rig too, bought rogue's "beater" bar and 300lbs worth of weight and built my own jump box. Now I have two bars, a rower, pull up bar, 35, 50, 70lbs kb's and dumbells, a sled, sandbag, med-balls and more jump ropes than I can count, despite the fact that I'm still not coordinated enough to get double unders.
Some people say they can't workout without being motivated, I never understand that. My competition was always in my own head. Most online programs have leaderboards similar to your box so you can still get some of that rivalry if you need it. On the plus side, I can workout whenever I can fit in my schedule, not according to class times, and I can spend extra time on things I need to work on without holding up a class full of people. My wife also works out with me sometimes.
Edited to add: Biggest downside is not having a coach there to help you with technique. If you don't have a good background in the mechanics of lifting heavy weight, you may need someone there to help you.
