    Squat rack, bench, one of my barbells. Adjustable height box for box squats in the background. Cambered bar stored on top of the rack. Chains used for chain suspended good mornings or for attaching to the bar to add more weight as you push the weight up.

    Other barbells used for deadlifts and rows. Giant mirror that was here when we bought the house. 1 of 2 plate trees (one on each side of the rack). Horse stall mats on the floor.

    Dumbbell rack. Treadmill that fried so it's no longer here. Pug face.

    I have :
    A tredmill that inclines
    dumb bells( 3, 5 and 8 pounds)
    Bowflex
    Gilad DVD's
    You tube excersise videos

    I started with one Gilad DVD, and walking around my neighborhood every day. Eventually added the tredmill, so bad weather is no longer a reason to not excersise. Then added my dumb bells, a few at a time. My husband wanted the Bowflex, but I use it too. I am able to use heavier weights using it! And I can use the bench on it for my dumb bell workouts too.
    I use the tredmil every day, and alternate my strength training three times a week; between my dumbbells and the bowflex. Need to buy more dumbbells, and I would love a barbell too.

    I used to go to the gym a lot, but it was getting expensive and harder to get to. I decided 2 years ago to build my home gym in my basement. I like to roll out of bed at 5am and get my workout in before heading off to work. It's very convenient to be able to workout then make a healthy breakfast before work. I've slowly added equipment as I needed.

    My gym includes:
    Weider home gym
    Elliptical
    Treadmill
    Bike trainer
    Heavy bag
    Pull up bar
    Dumbbells (various weights)
    Elastic bands (various resistant)
    Home made T-handle (like an adjustable kettle bell)
    Floor mat
    Medicine balls
    Stability ball (aka: exercise ball)
    Foam roller
    Workout videos (P90X, P90X2, & Insanity are my favs)

    My home gym consists of:

    3 sets of dumbbells- 5,10,15#
    Mat for floor exercises
    Bench
    Treadmill
    Stability ball (just bought that yesterday and am very excited about using it!)
    TV/VHS combo and DVD player (but the DVD player doesn't work and the TV eats VHS tapes- so that doesn't count at the moment)

    My gym includes bowflex dumbbells and a pull-up bar. Thats it and I've gotten far & away better results than when I had a bench and 300 and some pounds of plates and when I went to the gym.

    I work out in my living room, so I try to get the maximum use out of minimal equipment. In my living room, I have:
    -- Yoga mats, strap and block. The mat gets used for all kinds of work, not just yoga.
    -- Adjustable dumbbells and a set of 5lb. dumbbells
    -- foam roller (3' long, full round). I use this for massage, for balance exercises, and in place of a weight bench for any move that would be done lying flat back on a bench. The nice thing about this is that I have to engage my core more in order to keep the roller stable.

    I like to see how much use I can get out of other stuff that isn't actually workout equipment, like using the stairs for step-up moves or calf raises, or using the firm ottoman for split squats. It helps to get creative!

    I've also got my hoops for my daily hoop dance practice, but that's not everyone's standard workout.

    Panorama of the home gym. 99% of all equipment belongs to my BFF. There are plates all over the floor because we finished carpeting just yesterday afternoon and we needed the edges to set (took us several weekends to lay the carpet but it was an awesome workout!).

    Lightsaber is not part of any workout routine, although it is occasionally used to remind us to use the Force. :smile:

    Youtube videos
    DVDs
    2 3lb weights
    And a small kit I bought for like 10 or 20 bucks from walmart. It came with several resistance bands. It hooks to your door and you can do lots of different things with it. Good buy, I think.

    Oh, and the outside.

    I have dumbbells ranging from 1.5 lbs (came with Zumba, not truly dumbbells I guess) to 25 lbs. A treadmill. Zumba and Turbo Fire DVDs. Several Wii fitness games. A home weight lifing thing (kind of like a universal gym), but that's still in the box. One kettlebell that I have no idea what to do with. Resistance bands. Jump rope. Step (for step aerobics). Mini stair stepper. Bike. Yoga mat. Thighmaster. 4 good pairs of shoes. Basketball. Frisbee. Football. Softball bat, ball and gloves. Kickball. Whiffle bat and ball. Backpacks and GPSr. Water slide. My body.

    Some of those are used outside the home, but they are in my gym (except for the water slide, which is in the garage).
