    I only have a treadmill, a couple of ankle weights, and two yoga mats...Need to expand!

    If it counts, I have a tv which plays a wide variety of workouts on my local cable...from Zunba to aerobics, to yoga.

    I want to get a Bowflex treadclimber real bad! Anyone have one?

    I just have some resistance bands, a power wheel, and a dvd player. I do have a heavy bag but have no place to hang it.

    I prefer to work out at a gym, but I have, or have access to:

    Lebert Equalizer (I don't recommend it; for body weight chess presses and triceps dips)
    Lebert Stretch Straps
    Dumbbells
    Fitness Bar
    Swiss balls
    Wobble board
    Bosu
    Steps (for calf raises, step ups)
    Resistance bands
    Calf and hamstring stretching rocker
    Big, folding, comfortable exercise mat by Harbinger


    Used to have an electronic jump rope, but I mislaid it.
    Weighted vest (for walking outside)

    Step treadmill

    I had a stairclimber, but never used it. Too boring.
    Also had a Nordic Track, but it was awkward at really fast speeds. I think it broke.

    I've had a number of DVDs and CDs in the past (The Firm, Lotte Berk, The NYC Ballet Workout, among others), but I've never stuck with them. I find exercising at home to the same program sad. Sometimes I've done On Demand cable TV exercise routines.

    I've always been an inconsistent exerciser, but over the years I've amassed a decent amount of equipment.

    We JUST started putting together ours, so so far there isn't TONS. We have a exercise bike, exercise ball, chin ups bar (that you attach to the door) w/attachments to do your abs with. Weight bench with a bunch of free weights, and a few sets of dumbbells. Then we also have a water dispenser with a small fridge attachment on the bottom. AND a sorter that holds exercise books, my HRM, Body fat Analyzer, Body measuring tape etc. Right now i don't need tons... I do a lot of body weight exercises and exercises that don't required much equipment...But its a working progress, we've only had it about a month.

    *Each weight loss goal I hit I buy something "fitness related" so my hopes are through that to complete the room - piece by piece and I like the idea of "working for it" :smile:

    When I hit my goal weight my reward for it will be a LARGE item for the workout room - I am leaning towards getting a "Home Gym" set.

    **** LOVE seeing all the stuff everyone has in theres, because I am completely new at having a Home gym, I need some ideas.

    Norditrack treadmill, Keiser spin bike, Total Gym XLS, inversion table, tv/dvd player and mats for floor work. LOVE IT!

    I would love to have an inversion table as I have a bad back. Do you like it?

    An Endless Pool! Wow!

    My old recumbent bike gave me back problems more painful than the ones that caused the my back surgery. Everything for me is trial and error.

    I need to take a good picture, but here is what we have:
    Foam roller, floor mats, exercise balls
    Pull up bar
    Heavy bag
    Full set of dumbbells
    Resistance bands
    Push up bars
    Medicine balls
    workout bench
    Floor to ceiling wall of mirrors
    TV, speakers - hooked up to home automation system so access to all DVDs/DVRs/Music

    My husband and I both also workout at the local rec center. We alternate days since we take turns putting the kids to bed (and thus working out at home after) while the other one goes to the gym.

    All I have is a set of TRX suspension straps, and a set of floor mats. I feel like the TRX gives a really complete workout, plus it is not size-dependent, if any of you are on the short side, as I am. Also, it's portable. We have it mounted between two boards in the basement, but it can be used on a door.

    @Suemello.... I used a TRX with a trainer for 3 months and it was awesome! Need to add that to my list...
