Weights: you can get any standard dumbbells. I recently upgraded to the bowflex adjustable weights (from 5lb to 52lbs) And LOVE them! Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells (Pair) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001ARYU58/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Ae.DEbF5ZWQV8
Happy working out!

I just started P90X (did the first workout this morning). This is pretty much all you need (in addition to a mat and a towel). Read the reviews too, it's basically the all-in-one for P90X if you don't want to buy directly from Beach Body (much more expensive due to superfluous equipment).
Edit: I have Bowflex Dumbbells but even those can take a beat to change the weights on. The resistance bands are the easiest when momentum is important.
If you get those, you limit yourself to a certain weight and you also don't, since you can adjust them, but it takes time.
If you're serious about it, you may want to consider investing in something like these:

Because you can change them super quickly in between workouts. It'd probably be really helpful during incinerator, where you're moving from curls to triceps back to back.
Or just do a mix of bands and dumbells. Nothing wrong with that.
My husband and I have our DIY setup in our garage and absolutely love it! I was hesitant to purchase a new Peloton since I had never been the workout-at-home type and was worried this expensive piece of workout equipment would become a dust collector in our garage. We decided to try the DIY workaround before investing a lot of money into the "real" thing.
We use a Sunny B1805 with the Wahoo Cadence sensor attached to the crank arm. I really wanted a magnetic belt drive and this one was probably the most affordable we found. I wish we had spent a little more and invested in a bike that comes with SPD pedals since I know we will be upgrading those in the near future. Other than that the bike is great and I highly recommend it!
We live in CA where the weather is mild pretty much all year so we decided to put the bike in our garage. We screen cast the classes to a TV we have hung up on the wall using an AppleTV and use our phones to view cadence in the Wahoo app. I also have a FitBit Versa that I use for HR purposes, though it does not sync with the Peloton app (huge bummer).
Other odds and ends we have in our setup: WiHoo Mini Handheld Portable Fan we attach to the tablet holder, floor fan, a set of Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbells for strength classes (we don't do weights on the bike), and a basic Yoga mat.
It has surprised me just how happy I am with this setup! I thought I would feel like I was missing out by not having the leader board and not being able to track my stats. But I have yet to take a live class since the times don't work well for us west coasters with 9-5 jobs and commutes. And while I would like to be able to see output and resistance, I don't feel like my workout is suffering for not having them. I used to take spin classes regularly and most of those were about feel rather than exact numbers.
We've been using this setup since July and, honestly, I don't see myself buying a Peloton now. If anything I may upgrade to a better bike at some point. But for $20 a month I am getting an excellent workout that dips and sways with my schedule. I don't think I could justify being locked into $40 a month when I don't feel I am missing out much on the extras that come with the full price.
Just an FYI, the price is for a single one, not a set of 2. For comparison, the 552 set comes in a pair, though only goes up to 52.5 LBs each, and is $300 on prime.
Does this include the person who was trying to sell the Bowflex SelectTech 552 which retails for $330 for over $1400 and $100 shipping?
edit: Oh cool.. it didn't.
