target has some nice reebok ones. with rubber grips. i just stack mine up in one corner. they don't take up much space at all. with the rectangular shaped ones. it's even easier.

Seconded on search craigslist or post up an ad there. There's always good deals on home gym equipment from people who've given up on it, and with weights you don't have to worry about anything breaking or being worn out. When we left college we sold an olympic bench, bar, dumbells and 300 pounds of weight for like $150.

I'd rather go to the gym then to let fitness stuff collect dust in my home.

I do the gym membership so I can get out of my house, when people are home they have a tendency to be comfortable and put things off. how many people have treadmills that are used as a clothing rack?

Time to find a closer gym. h:

When I lived downtown, my gym was 3 blocks away and took 5 minutes to walk there. Now that I live in the burbs I have to drive 10-15 minutes to get to the gym. But at least it's cheaper.
