Hi, new guy here. :). Was wondering what some other people's can't-live-without fitness related stuff is? I'm currently loving my dumb bells, but would absolutely love a freestanding pull up bar.

So, what do you love, or can't wait to get?

    Garmin (or similar) HRM/GPS/bike computer for stats.

    Only way to tell if I'm improving with the cardio my body favors. Much like plates on a bar & a notebook to measure that progress.

    Edit - Ok, gotta change to match below. If no bike, the Garmin doesn't matter.
    Gotta have bike first.

    My bike. Other stuff I like very much includes the power meter on my bike, my GPS, a bunch of jackets and light weight camping gear. But the bike is the can't live without one.

    ^This. I'm also pretty fond of weights, but I go to the gym for that.

    Sports bra, Fitbit and my Asic running shoes. My Nike training gloves are also a must for lifting sessions in the gym. They are the only 4 things I feel I would be at a disadvantage without.

    Sports bra, Runderwear and running shoes (both trail and road). Oh, and a pair of shorts (I may have lost some weight, but still no-one needs to see me in just runderwear and sportsbra unless I'm at transition!)

    I could live without any of them: calisthenics and aerobics. But, I'm really starting to like my easy bar for hip thrusts and curls.

    Technically I don't need any equipment, but I love my ultimate sandbags, pull up bar, rings & jump rope.

    For obvious reasons, I vastly overlooked the popularity of the sports bra. Wasn't even on my radar.

    Any recommendations on a free standing chin up bar that won't break the bank?

    Might want to consider making your own out of piping you could buy at a home improvement store.

    I love my home gym. I don't really need but....I would like to get either a Multi Grip Bar or some Farmer's Walk Handles. Hoping to find a deal on Black Friday.

    Sports Bar for sure! Other than that, the gym membership, I just don't work out if I have to do it at home.

    My running shoes. Everything else is extra.

    Truth be told, I've run bare footed so I guess, nothing. If push came to shove, body weight exercises/running naked and bare footed would suffice.
