Fitness Equipment must haves?

ebgbjo

What are the fitness equipment and tools that you have and really like and the ones you would like to add?

Right now I just have a treadmill, kick bag, some hand weights, one bar and two 10lb weights, weighted jump rope and some bands. Then of course my HRM and chest strap and a lot of workout videos. I am looking to add to what I have to keep me moving, but haven't decided what I want to buy exactly. Would love something to incorporate more strength training (total body), but so far only seeing equipment starting around 700+

Incredibly happy I bought this bench and rack for $169 (Amazon Prime free shipping FTW). Sometimes you can get it at Walmart for $130. It's cheapy stuff and requires assembly, but it's working out great for my family. It's not too big for the back room, and along with our treadmill it's just about all we need to move home from the gym. Requires Olympic bars, though, so may not be the only thing you'd have to buy depending on the bar you have. To this I added a 15# baby bar, a 300# Weider set from Sears, and a pair of lock-jaw clamps -- again, probably all I'm gonna need ever. Lots of folks swear by craigslist for good prices on weights and gear; you could probably do better there price-wise than I did on my stuff.

My sports bra is the only must have. Other than that, I love having a few sets of weights, some body bands, a mat, good shoes, and my HRM. I find that I don't really need more than that. Sometimes that's even too much. I'm not big into equipment, personally. I like kitchen gadgets more than fitness ones!

Sandbag and battle ropes would be a nice addition to your collection

Power cage, bench and weights are my must have. I can work with this to do great workouts.

Beyond that - chains, bands I want more off. As well as some strongman gear, but it can get $$$ fast.

I have an elliptical which I don't really care for.

I love my treadmill, my weights and my bench. I am planning to purchase a power rack in the near future.
