Who's got one?  What do you have?  What do you want?  What did you think you needed, but ended up not needing?

Or, if you don't have one, what would be the "must haves" you'd need to drop your gym membership and work out at home (besides the obvious "place to put the stuff" haha)?

    Eighth Anniversary 10000 Comments 5 Love Its Combo Breaker



    I love my home gym.  LOVE.  And thanks to yard sale buys it was much cheaper than even a few months of gym membership.  Since the pic was taken I've added a honeycomb shelf unit between the treadmill and bike to keep all the extras off the floor a bit more.

    I currently have:
       *exercise ball
       *treadmill
       *bike (mostly the H's)
       *resistance bands
       *some free weights
       *tv in perfect viewing spot from treadmill or floor
       *ipod-radio
       *floor exercise mat
       *oscillating fan
     
    I still want:
       *a decent set of free weights (specifically pretty ones)
       *a weight bench with weights

    I have some minmal stuff at home:
    -resistance bands
    -set up dbells (5, 8, 10, 12 lbs)
    -yoga mat

    I can actually get a lot accomplished with that, but I have a dream of turning half of our future basement into a gym, complete with a wall of mirrors. My 'wish list':

    -full set of dbells
    -olympic dbell set & cage
    -cable crossover equipment
    -spin bike
    -treadmill
    -eliptical

    I think that's basically it, a gal can dream :)

    My at home gym is:

    -Recumbent Bike
    -Yoga Mat
    -3 lb & 5 lb weights
    -Resistance Band
    -JM 30DS dvd

    If I could no longer go to my gym (right now it's a free membership), I would absolutely want to invest in an elliptical and a more complete weight set along with some more workout DVDs. For right now I'm perfectly content splitting my time between my "at home gym" and an actual gym.
