Definitely! Even if one is already generally healthy and wanted to build lots of muscle from there, it can be done very cheaply. You can get pretty far with just the ground. A pair of gymnastics rings is cheaper than shoes and opens up a whole word of effective workouts.
There’s an awesome youtuber “Hybrid Calisthenics” who has a ton of videos getting deep into the weeds on this. He shows the progressions literally all the way from minimal mobility (not able to ‘bench press’ your empty hands) to doing full strict pushups. He has lots of great content on mentality, too, which is something that is generally under-discussed imo
