Home Gym Question

My SO and I have recently started creating a home gym and we have a decent amount of cardio machines but I feel we need more weight/resistance equipment. Any idea's what we can get for a small spaced home gym.
Here's what we have already - Treadmill (But neither of us like it and might be getting an elliptical in it's place), a bike, a cardio glider, a rowing machine, a weight bench with two free weights and one bar with about 200lbs in plate weights, a 5lb and 10lb dumbell set, a ballet barre, a stability ball and a boxing dummy.

Suspension trainer (TRX), Kettlebells, bands...
Do you have a cage? That would be #1 on my list. You can attach a suspension trainer and bands to it as well as practice pull-ups on it. You will need an Olympic bar and weight set. Then I would add a Landmine sleeve for accessory work.
You may want to follow a proven program for best results.0 -
Power cage has a small footprint. Olympic bar & weights. You can squat, bench, deadlift, do pull ups/chin ups, rows with a power cage. I have a super small exercise room but this is what I have and it is great. I have a little extra room outside the cage to do cardio, stretching, planks, etc.0

I bought a power rack for my home gym last summer and is was the best thing I had purchased for my gym. I use it every workout. Mine also has cable in it for rows and wide grip pull downs. Does not have weight stack, you use olympic or standard plates on it.0

Thanks, I'll be looking into those and seeing which we like better0

The glider, and rowing machine, can go. Treadmill too. Get an eliticle, and cage/rack, and some dumbells.
