    I use the cardio equipment at the gym. On my coffee table is a set of 10 and 15 pound barbells, a set of resistance bands and behind the sofa is a hula hoop. When I watch tv, I pick up something and work at it during the commercials.

    I have all of my workout equipment in the family room (treadmill, barbells, dumbbells and rack). I used to worry about how it would look but now I could give a hoot! Lol. My friends and family know that when they come over, we are all about working out and being healthy. I usually move them to the side of the room when not using them. My guests don't have a problem with it and I wouldn't care if they did. It's my house. :)

    If we are hosting a formal event, I'd move it temporarily but for the most part, it stays. Also have squat racks in the garage. Good luck on getting yours setup! That's awesome they all want to do it!

    I love how enthusiastic you all are about it. I think it's going to have to go in with the TV for now. This can work...

    My weights are in a spare downstairs bedroom.
    Im considering a treadm which would have to go upstairs or a trainer for my bike so I can use it wherever in my apartment

    I guess I have an unpopular opinion! I wouldn't put exercise equipment in the living room or kitchen. That would look stupid. Sorry but no. If I buy equipment it's either going in the spare bedroom or the basement. But I am fortunate to have that extra space in my house. Garage is another option but my boyfriend takes up pretty much the whole 2 car garage with his tools and material. (Construction)

    My exercise routines are based around programs on my playststion2/eyetoy camera, kinetics, groove and HipHopAbs with Sean T. These raise my heart rate enough. I use a finger device to monitor my pulse.

    I'm spoiled and live in a huge house with plenty of extra room. We have a finished basement with 8 foot ceilings. The treadmill is in the main room of our basement since my husband likes to watch TV while running on it. All of the weight equipment is in a smaller room in the basement.

    Mine is in two rooms in the basement. Treadmill & bike is in the bigger room where the TV & DVD player and stereo is. I also do my DVD workouts there. The spare bedroom in the basement has the weight equipment.

    the previous homeowner converted the one-car garage into a bedroom, long and narrow. Doesn't work as a bedroom, but works great for a workout room. No machines, only weights, with a bench and room for cardio via workout dvds on computer.

    When I have my own house, I wanna set up the basement like this. Except trade the elliptical for a treadmill.

    This is mine:


    Except, my apartment flooded so they replaced the carpets and didn't put the mats down and punched a hole in the wall when they put the rack back lol

    There are dumbbells in the room as well

    Small city apartment dweller here. My bike on a trainer is right in the living room, with my husband's bike living behind the couch (we keep mine out most of the time since we can both ride my bike, and his is too tall for me)

    Most everything else is fairly small, since we do have a gym membership. But we keep exercise mats, hand weights, resistance bands, stepper, etc are usually left out, but we do store them behind a folding photo wall thing in one of our corners, just when people come over though so they don't trip over it.
