I've just moved into an apartment with a built in gym.

Yay! I can save money on my gym membership

BUT! They dont have any barbell or squat rack. How will I ego deadlift now????

Wondering what dead loft alternatives I have on a cable machine?

Also willing to consider kettle bells or anything else I can buy / donate to the gym short of an entire barbell set and squat rack

What the hell is that thing. It looks cool, but $2100?

    It's pricey but you can do a surprisingly large amount with it. Of all the "digital resistance" ideas out there, it's the most practical as you can move it about and take it with you. Have a look on YT, at channels like Garage Gyms or something and you'll see how it's used. It's quality kit. If I didn't have my own gym setup and functional trainer, I'd consider it over the FT.
