[Sportsandrec] Home Gyms

[Mike Sivill]

Hi Ryan, 
I use a Total Gym here in Oregon during the rainy months (like from
September through may) when I'm stuck indoors and don't want to fight my way
through the rain to the real gym. 
Like somebody else said, it does fold up but it's not small, it takes up a
lot of room in a closet and doesn't fit under my bed at all. 
But I really like using it. You can do so many different exercises for
different muscle groups. The only thing is, for strength training, you might
want to also get some of those disc-shaped weights to add to it with the
weight bar since the resistance is limited by your body weight.

Good morning all,

I am just curious to know if anyone has ever had any experiences with home
gyms, such as the Total Gym?  If so, are they as advertised, or are they a
waste of money/ time?  At one time, I went to the gym daily.  Last summer, I
made a conscious effort at getting back into the gym after quite a hiatus.
Having a wife and two children on top of running my own business was making
that very difficult, and new regulations for work have made that almost
impossible.  I'm thinking that if I could get one of these home gyms, it
could be the solution I am looking for.  I don't have an abundance of space
that is why the Total Gym was appealing to me.  Thoughts?
