And what kit do you highly recommend?

Very few people come to the house (a combination of living out of the way, and the charms of my dog) so we've turned the sitting room into our gym.

We've currently got:
Bench and rack,
Free weights (standard and Olympic),
Treadmill,
Punchbag,
Yoga ball,

We're planning on getting more once we move, and have a garage to convert into a separate gym. I'd be interested to hear what other people rate.

    Nothing.

    We basically live in a tiny home (not quite, but close especially as a family of 3 humans and 2 big dogs) so we dont have space for it. My exercise is working around the homestead. Gardening, cutting and splitting firewood, hunting, hiking etc.

    A gravel road bike with swanky carbon hoops. I put several thousand miles a year on it.

    Edit to add: lots of shoes, a few backpacks, two climbing ropes, crampons, and an ice ax.

    The pull up bar that holds onto door frame (moved into a home that’s ADA friendly so bar does not fit in the doorway, it’s not long enough), 10 lbs & 3 lbs dumbbells, thick yoga mat, yoga strap (old tie), 60” exercise ball, & the corner of my kitchen cabinets (for dips).

    I have some free weights (3-8 lbs), exercise bands, a few weighted balls, a yoga mat, an exercise ball. It’s taken a number of years to get all these (I feel like the only mom who gets workout gear for Mother’s day lol).

    Cable machine with pull-up bar
    Adjustable dumbbell set
    Barbells (one longer and one mini) with various plates and landmine attachment
    Benches (one adjustable, one low for hip thrusts)
    EZ bar
    Various kettlebells up to 55lbs
    TRX
    Exercise balll
    Various bands
    Ankle weights
    Bowflex Max trainer machine

    I also have a "hip thruster" but it's not set up currently.
    In the future I would love a squat rack but not a huge priority for me since I don't really squat heavy or bench press

    I have a Bowflex Max Trainer M5. Thinking about adding a treadmill before winter so I can use that too during bad weather since I also walk daily.

    Until the toyboy moved in, I had no idea about barbells. We now have standard, triceps, EZ and Olympic bars, Dumbbells, and plates going from tiny up to 20s.

    Love the triceps bar, but loathe the EZ (which just feels like it's peeling my palms).

    Elliptical
    Kettlebells up to 24kg
    Handweights up to 15lbs
    A wide assortment of workout DVDs + step (girly stuff but they are fun sometimes!)

    I don't have alot of stuff but I really use what I have! Trail running is the core of my workout life.

    Treadmill, dumbbells, resistance bands, pull-up bar, yoga mat, exercise ball, flat screen TV with DVD and thumb drive player, lots of workout DVDs, and many downloaded videos on my thumb drive. I don't have room for a squat rack and bench, so I go to the gym for lifting.

    Door mounted pull up bar
    Resistance bands
    Yoga mats and blocks
    Stability balls
    Kayaks (if you count that as home gym equipment, but then I could probably start adding things like tennis racket, skis, horse shoes, etc, etc)
