Exercise Equipment

[djnewb]

Hi everyone

I'm looking to buy a machine that I can put in my room or living room to work out with because I do not have access to a local gym. What machine is good out there that isn't big and easy to hide or disable?

I'm considering the Total Gym because I've tried out th demo before, but I'm not sure if that thing really works as good as the infomercials say it would.

I also thought about the BoFlex but my friend told me it has bad reviews.

If anyone knows if a machine that is affordable, good, and doesn't take much space, please let me know.

Thanks in advance

Depends how much money you have. I hear many of the total body machines are absolute garbage. If possible, I'd opt for a bench, some dumbells, and other equipment. Free weights are just so much more appealing.

Free weights are definitely appealing, except I don't have space to hold the amount of free weights I normally use, same idea for a bench set. Not only that, more weights might put a hole in my old wooden floor

I just looked at some reviews for Boflex, and it seems to be a good mix of good and bad.

In my heart, nothing will beat the experience of a gym, its just that its too inconvient to gotto one in my area, so i'm hoping to find any kind of substitute that can work for my living arrangements.

Thanks
