I would check with your insurance carrier before starting such a practice in case of injury.

what type of clients do you have that either don’t have a home gym or a gym membership? sounds like a nightmare to me…

Not quite sure what your looking for, just a bench press type deal or an all over versitile peice of machinery?
a cross bow folds in and can easilly be moved with a pickup. would be a bit bulky going through door ways though. This would allow virtually any exercise.
for smaller equiptment, a work out ball would allow pushups which are simular to the bench press. there are also cable stretch cords, door hanging cords, spring pulls etc.
I’m sure you’ve already thought of all this, but just in case.
Is there really a need for this service? I was thinking of starting my own gym too, but never thought anyone would have use for a service like this outside of rehab patients when they get sent home.

put them on the floor(this will also help the client to stay in propper form and not let the weights go down past the correct ROM, or do push-ups I am always glad to help if you have other questions feel free to ask.
