Lots of reasons to avoid the gym:
Time
Inconvenience
Crowds
Cost
Fat Burning Home gym:
Need to be able to do high intensity work on:
legs
upper body pushing muscles
upper body pulling muscles
core muscles
Most good treadmills are $1,000-$1,500
Elliptical machines cost about the same although cheap models do exist.
Neither allow you to properly work your upper body
Neither allow you to do high intensity training
They make a great coat rack!
An effective home gym can be assembled for less than the cost of a good treadmill or elliptical
