Im in a similar situation as a 17 year old who doesnt have access/is too embarrassed to go to a gym. I've been doing a routine of pushups and situps in my basement for about 5 months now and while my results arent outstanding, I have developed some upper body muscle and lost some weight along my midsection. Additionally, more muscle definition.
As for legs, I bike as soon as the snow melts (for me by May at the latest) and bike EVERYWHERE I go. I do this until its too fucking cold to bike. Take weekly trips around the city, doing errands or just to get outside and bike. This builds leg muscle and helps with cardio (sort of). I did use to have kickin' leg muscles but since I havent biked all winter I've sort of lost that muscle. But since you may not be able to do any of that shit now, use your fucking treadmill.
Lastly, if you're 15 you're probably at this point in High school, which SHOULD have some sort of weight gym. Go there during lunch or go to school an hour early and work out regularly. Don't be embarassed because you cant lift what everybody else can, find your own pace. If they make fun of you for being skinny/weak, you're obviously there to bulk up, so why the fuck shouldn't you be there?
tl;dr, if you're financially challenged do pushups at home and get a excercise bike or a real bike and cycle regularly. And use your fucking school's gym. I suggest investing in some weights because those are very cheap and versatile as they can be used for a variety of exercises.
And remember, one of the most important parts about getting and keeping fit is starting and maintaining a routine. It is difficult at the beginning to start working out regularly because you're not used to it, but after a week or so of doing it DAILY, it becomes a part of your routine and you do it with less reluctance and excuses, thus you actually get something done. So get the fuck off the internet and your phone and go work out moar.
