Photos of your home gyms

I'm feeling the need to go all hgtv on my windowless basement home gym (poor photo in profile). So I'm wondering if anyone has pics they would share of whatever their set up is. I'm just looking for design inspiration and/or suggestions.

I would if I knew how to post pics on here. I just tried every option from my Photobucket and none of them worked.

Well I got the pics to post but the sizing is all screwed up, you can only see one side of the pic. Basically its my basement with some commercial grade carpet, some rubber mats, an adjustable weight bench, some dumbbells and racks, etc. I want to add a power rack and a recumbent bike later this winter. Works great for me and is super convenient.

Thanks! I agree with the convenience. I've got a treadmill, a stationary bike, a bunch of weights, bench & my redneck squat stands. Functionally, it's just fine. But I'm a girl and I like pretty, so I'm feeling the need to spruce it up a bit.

Nice! Thinking about doing this too.

Keep an eye out for good deals on Craigslist and Play It Again Sports. Lots of people buy new equipment and lose interest after a couple months, so the stuff is still like new and "pretty" haha! That might be a good way to go if you're on a budget.

Yeah. I think I'm good with equipment for now. We are building a power rack to replace the redneck squat stands, but otherwise, I think I'm good there. And really it's very functional. I can do everything I need to do down there. I just want it to look pretty, only I'm not sure what that looks like for a home gym. Hence the reason I was looking for pics.

This is what I'm working with (there's more to the right but I'm way too lazy to resize the pic);
