Hi Peter! We have a stationery bike and a weight set with a bench in our basement. I have use elastic bands for my shoulders and arms. I personally refrain from a treadmill because a few years ago I was using one at the gym, and someone left it on fast and I did not know it, and it started off and I fell off breaking my shoulder. So I don't get on one anymore. (Just a word of advice be sure it is safe!) Take a look at these sites for further information..... Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Hi

Deutter the room, especially of large furniture so you have room to move. Are you hoping to have a treadmill? Then get one in there preferably with a tv to make the time fly.

I like workout tapes and dvds. Don’t laugh but I found a vhs player and a DVD player and I stocked up on tapes and discs and pop them in and “take classes” in my basement guest room for free. You may want to do a more 2018 version of the same principle on a flatscreen with the current technology.

Figure out what you want from the space and go from there

Good Luck!

Also maybe some carpet tiles or area carpet on the floor. A small maybe 29” TV and dvd and boom box for music disc. I have my music on my phone and use ear phones. Good luck decorating your new home gym 🤗.
