Share your home gym! page

[MissJecka]

I can't be the only person here without a gym membership! I have a small "home gym" that I've added equipment to over the years. How about the rest of you non-crossfitters without gym memberships? What are do you have in your home gym? What's your favorite piece of equipment or feature about it?

Mine:

• Liebert Equalizer
• doorframe pull-up bar
• interlocking foam tiles (to protect my hardwood floor… and my bones!)
• 8lb dumbbells (yes, I'm a weakling)
• one resistance band
• 10 lb kettlebell
• cheap-o stationary bike
• yoga mat (which I rarely use, as I only needed it before I got the aforementioned tiles)
• ankle weights
• small kinda-sort-wants-to-be-a Bosu ball
• jump rope
• Garmin Forerunner (gps watch & heart rate monitor)

Okay, kids. Share!

Tennis Courts across the Street
Central Park (ball fields, running/biking trails, "challenge course" stuff - trees, rocks & more!)
NYC Rec Center w/pool ($150/yr, but worth it!)

Wish List:

Really thats bout it....

Got a bunch of that other stuff (sledge, pick, shovel, all manner of tools) cause I maintain a lot of trees, a garden, and generally build or change something in my yard or house every weekend. Thats just part of my stay moving philosophy though.

An elliptical that I really only use in the winter, and a door frame pull up bar that get's used regularly. That's about all I've needed so far.

[twa2w]

I have a levergym with about 500 lbs in olympic plates, chin/dip station, treadmill, spin bike, dumbbells, kettlebell, weight vest, step, heavyhands, swiss balls, jump rope,mats etc medicine ball, versaclimber and a versa pullley. Just in the midst of re-organizing so have sold off some stuff (most of my dumbbells but have kept some)and will be letting my levergym go soon. I still do a fair amount of bodyweight stuff and sledge hammer stuff...
