If you're ambitious, invest in a power rack and a bench. Don't bench press alone without the safety of a power rack... Terrific, full body workouts can be done with just an inexpensive barbell and a set of iron weights. Go hang out over at someplace like http://www.drsquat.com for advice. Adding a dumbell handle or two will expand the variety.
Or, if you want to be really frugal, get an army duffel bag and fill it with sand. A sandbag workout guide is $12 from one of my favorite websites, http://www.ironmind.com.
I dropped my gym membership some time ago in favor of outside workouts using kettlebells, which you can learn all about over at http://www.russiankettlebells.com. These are very popular with women, by the way. I have the 16 kg and 24 kg kettlebells and use them with a jumprope. This summer I'm adding a 125 lb. sandbag. A good kettlebell workout will make you want to vomit out your spleen. Yes, my coworkers think I'm a little strange, between this stuff and the Saab obsession :)
Bowflex: it's a machine with limited flexibility. Your body is capable of more than what it can provide.
