Home gym equipment

Does anyone have home gym equipment?

DH has been going to the gym for the last couple of years (when not in lock down) and I’d like to join him on improving my fitness, but I’d prefer to workout at home, than at a gym - the time spent driving to a gym and back could be used to workout instead (and I’d get more sleep).

DH is thinking of getting a treadmill, but I am leaning towards a cross trainer /elliptical trainer.

Can you rent one first to see if you’ll really use it?

Hadn’t thought about renting one first! Thanks.

I do need to get fit and healthy, and although I have started walking at times, most of the year it’s either too hot or cold, or dark, or I am too tired to exercise. I am definitely leaning towards a cross trainer.

Looking at the Nordictrack E 7.5Z Elliptical or maybe the Proform Endurance 720 E Elliptical Cross Trainer.

I have a smart bike trainer, which I used almost every day during the long vic lockdown. I’ve lost my groove atm but I loved it and need to find my motivation to get back to it. I also had a Zwift account which allows you to do virtual races and courses.

I had the Wahoo Kickr which you can attach your own bike to and it controls the resistance based on the course.

We got a treadmill last year, unfortunately it makes the internet drop out everytime we use it. We have tried many different solutions but nothing seems to work.
