You don't need half the gym's equipment but you will be limited by dumbbells for big lifts like the squat and deadlift. You can easily cycle some great things like a unilateral training style, circuit training, and some other cool shit til you get bored of the dumbbells, though. Honestly if buy fixed weight dumbbells then you're a tool. Adjustable free weight ones only cost like ten bucks and the plates are really cheap. If you can use a barbell (have a garage, etc.) then get an Olympic rubber ring/coated set and you will be good for life.

I always train at home because I have two kettebells, a little bench that decline and inclines from walmart, a curl bar with two 25's, and a dip bar. I don't need the curl bar but had a itch to do tricep extensions (I don't curl xD). Honestly, you don't need shit to get in shape/strong. You can flip up onto the wall for handstand pushups, slide a book under a door for pullups (there's like no negative but it's practical atleast), if you have a dumbbell you can do overhead presses, snatches, squats, swings, lots of fun shit. Dip bar + rope + KB/DB/WeightPlate = weighted dips. Honestly the gym has thousands of dollars of machines and no good equipment. If you want to use the squat rack and can squat big then I definitely understand but other it's kind of pointless to waste investment money on cable pulleys. IMO.
