Air squats (fast and high rep) work well without gym

If you have a swiss ball you can place that against a wall and get good squats

Dumbbells are easy to pick up and keep at home (start with them by your sides during the squat exercise and move them up around your shoulders as step 2 and above your head as step 3).
No need for a gym unless you are going to be squatting heavy....and while heavier squats have their place they are not all that necessary.
