    We have free weights, a smith machine with a pec deck and low pulley and pulldown. The bench has leg extension and curl on it and I have an EZ-curl bar and a set of power blocks for dumbells. When I hit 300 I am going to give myself a set of racked dumbells up to 75lbs. We also have a nordi-trac recumbant bike. The only thing that would make it a dream home gym would be about 6 more feet of room on one wall so I could keep the bench and smith machine a little farther apart as it gets crowded sometimes. We do plan on a heavy bag, but that will have to go in the barn. No room at the inn. I thought the dining room table could go, but I got vetoed on that idea. :-/ I though it was a good idea, no table eat less, makes sense. Okay that was the look I got from my wife too. :grumble: :noway:

    I have one ruptured and two herniated disks in my back (car accident, many years ago), so exercise equipment is tricky for me. Right now I have a Proform recumbent stationary that is a lifesaver--I can go crazy, cardio-wise, on that bike and my back is spared. So my bike (or maybe an even nicer bike!) for sure. Then a Bowflex Ultimate 2 home gym, and then either a treadmill/climber or an elliptical, both of which my husband and son are fond of!

    And all I need is a few thousand bucks!

    A nice indoor swimming pool would be awesome.

    Yup, a 50m pool is all I can think I'd like to have at my finger tips. Most other equipment is just designed to replicate activity I can do without a machine.

    I would have to have a treadmill, a leg press, and probably just a barbell so I could do squats, work on my back, my arms, etc.

    Oh, well, if I had known an indoor POOL was on the table! Never mind the elliptical or the treadmill--I want a POOL!

    Elliptical

    Punching Bags (cause you gotta have the speed bag if you've got the big bag)

    Bosu (2 so I can snowboard inside) and and exercise ball

    and a few dumbbells, can't have a gym without dumbbells.

    Squat rack, a bench, and a platform.
