I got: a bowflex, one of those crappy bikes where you propel a fan as you go, some ab chair that doesnt work, and one of those oldschool treadmills with the rollers on the bottom.

What I wish I had was a room big enough to hold a bench + assorted freeweights, a treadmill, and a heavy bag. Space is the only thing holding me back atm :(

Bowflex is the only thing currently still used :/ I go to the gym mostly though.

100lb heavybag (Currently stuck with a crappy freestanding bag holder that barely keeps the thing upright. Too short and flimsy. What I get for buying on clearance. Want to get a wall mount.)
40lb Everlast heavybag
Cobra Reflex bag
Two 1pood kettlebells
Ab wheel

Don't use my weighted vest much. (Looks too much like I'm wearing a homemade bomb.) Ankle weights are dusty too.

Oh we also have one of those exercise balls that gets mostly used by my kids as something to bounce on.

Bowflex Extreme (limited space, so it fits nicely).

How limited is your space? low ceiling or small room? I'm looking to get a Bowflex <something> but I have 6' ceilings in my basement and my wife wouldn't be up for a bowflex in the living room - something about guests having to sit near it.
