    Right now I have only the Weider 2980x. This weekend I'm gonna add either a treadmill or free weights. Next weekend, something else..until my room is full.

    Norditrack treadmill, Keiser spin bike, Total Gym XLS, inversion table, tv/dvd player and mats for floor work. LOVE IT!

    I would love to have an inversion table as I have a bad back. Do you like it?

    <--- Endless Pool, treadmill, recumbant bike, elliptical, home gym (Bowflex), various free weights, DVDs, etc. My favorite room in the house!

    An Endless Pool! Wow!

    My old recumbent bike gave me back problems more painful than the ones that caused the my back surgery. Everything for me is trial and error.

    I need to take a good picture, but here is what we have:
    Foam roller, floor mats, exercise balls
    Pull up bar
    Heavy bag
    Full set of dumbbells
    Resistance bands
    Push up bars
    Medicine balls
    workout bench
    Floor to ceiling wall of mirrors
    TV, speakers - hooked up to home automation system so access to all DVDs/DVRs/Music

    My husband and I both also workout at the local rec center. We alternate days since we take turns putting the kids to bed (and thus working out at home after) while the other one goes to the gym.

    All I have is a set of TRX suspension straps, and a set of floor mats. I feel like the TRX gives a really complete workout, plus it is not size-dependent, if any of you are on the short side, as I am. Also, it's portable. We have it mounted between two boards in the basement, but it can be used on a door.

    @Suemello.... I used a TRX with a trainer for 3 months and it was awesome! Need to add that to my list...

    If you buy suspension straps, don't buy the cheaper version. I bought the Bob Harper GoFit straps and they are ok, but the grips are a cheap rubber and irritate your hands if you don't wear gloves. And even though they are recommended in the Petite Advantage diet book, which I am following, the adjustment straps are at the TOP, which doesn't work very well for a 4'11" woman. Two sessions of climbing a ladder every time I needed to adjust them was enough for me. I ordered the TRX straps that day and love them!
