I love my Wii Game Console using the "Jenny McCarthy's Your Shape". It helped me shed 45 pounds in the last year or so. Takes up no room at all, other than the console on the TV stand and the little camera on top of the TV

Shame on you . . . next you'll be telling me you prefer tofu bacon over real bacon.

Bowflex selecttech dumbells, or powerblocks. It's nice to have a complete set of weights that take up so little space.

All of the following my husband and I have purchased and have put to good use over the years:

gym membership
Garmin/HRM
running sneakers
exercise ball
various dumb bells
resistance bands (my husband likes these, I rarely use)
pull up bar (my husband uses this all the time, I need to use more)
push up handles
P90X DVDs (my husband used, I did not)
Insanity DVDs (I used these quit a bit)

and most recently (in last 2 years):
sparring gear
Wave Master punch/kicking bag
breaking board
clap kicker targets (for kicking)

If I had $500 burning a hole in my pocket, I would love to purchase a home gym set... but honestly the one that I want is more than $500.
